On what schedule do the terms of the advisory board members expire?

The terms of the advisory board members expire every odd-numbered year on February 1. This schedule allows for a regular cycle of appointments and renewals, ensuring that board membership is refreshed periodically without overwhelming the process with too frequent changes. Setting the expiration date specifically on February 1 also helps to maintain continuity in governance and operations of the board, facilitating proper transition periods for incoming members.

The other options either suggest a yearly cycle, which may not align with the intended longevity of the board’s effectiveness, or a multi-year term length that does not fit the specified regulations for advisory board member appointments in the Texas Podiatry rules. Understanding the timing of these expirations is vital for ensuring compliance with state laws and managing the board effectively.
