Three   members shall be representative of the public and one  member  shall  be   appointed   from   a   college   providing  training  for  nursing  home   administrators. A member's term shall expire upon a  change  of  status.   Each   member   appointed  from  a  profession  requiring  licensure  or   registration to practice in the state shall be  licensed  or  registered   except  for  those  nursing  home  administrators first appointed to the   board who shall be required only to possess the  qualifications  and  be   eligible for licensure as required by this article.2.  The  term  of office of the members shall be three years; provided   however, that of the members first appointed, three shall  be  appointed   for  a  term  which  shall  expire  on  June thirtieth, nineteen hundred   seventy-one; four for a term  which  shall  expire  on  June  thirtieth,   nineteen  hundred seventy-two; and four for a term which shall expire on   June thirtieth, nineteen hundred seventy-three;  and  provided  however,   that  of  the  members  first appointed on the expansion of the board to   thirteen members, one shall be appointed for a term which  shall  expire   on  June  thirtieth,  nineteen  hundred seventy-four; and one for a term   which shall expire on June thirtieth, nineteen hundred seventy-six.   No   member shall serve for more than two consecutive terms.  Before entering   upon his term of office every board member shall file with the secretary   of state the constitutional oath of office.  Vacancies in the membership   of  the  board,  however  created,  shall be filled in the manner of the   original appointment by the commissioner for  the  unexpired  term.  Any   member  may  be  removed by the commissioner for misconduct, incapacity,   incompetence, or neglect of duty.3. Each member of the board shall receive  a  per  diem  allowance  as   determined  by the commissioner for the time spent in the performance of   his official duties and shall be reimbursed for all proper traveling and   incidental expenses in carrying out the provisions of this article.4. The commissioner shall designate an  officer  or  employee  of  the   department  to  act as secretary to the board, who shall not be a member   of the board.5. The board at its first meeting to be held within thirty days  after   appointment,  and annually thereafter at its first meeting in each year,   shall organize and elect from its members a chairman.6. The board, for the purpose of transacting its business, shall  meet   at  least  once  every  six  months  at  times  and places designated by   resolution. Special meetings also may be held at such times as the board   may elect, or on the call of the commissioner. A written notice  of  the   time,  place  and  purpose of any special meeting shall be mailed by the   secretary to all members of the board at least fifteen days  before  the   date of the meeting.7.  A  majority  of the members of the board shall constitute a quorum   for the transaction of business at any meeting.8.

Members shall serve without compensation but  shall  be  reimbursed  for    expenses  actually  and necessarily incurred in the performance of their   duties.
