The Governor shall appoint all members of the board. The board shall be composed of one lay person, who is not licensed by the board but uses the services licensed, and four members who are chiropractors in active practice in the state. The term of a member begins on January first, unless otherwise designated by the Governor. The term of a member expires on December thirty-first in the third year of the member's appointment. No member may serve more than three consecutive full terms. The Governor shall, by appointment, fill any vacancy occurring in the board. The appointment to an unexpired term is not considered a full term. The Governor may stagger terms to enable the board to have different terms expire each year.
