safety programs, three representatives of

Applicants are considered for 

membership on the basis of their 

particular expertise, knowledge, and 

experience in recreational boating 

safety. Prior applicants should submit 

an updated application to ensure

announced in this notice. Each member 

serves for a term of up to 3 years.
