Members of <br /> this board are appointed by the governor and serve specific geographic areas of <br /> the state.

A draft <br /> resolution to Governor Hunt requesting reappointment of Dr. Gilbert is <br /> attached for the Board's consideration. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: As the Board decides. <br />
