§ 23-231.20. Board of trustees; membership; appointments; terms; compensation; officers.

A. The Institute shall be governed by a nine 15-member Board of Trustees consisting of the presidents or their designees of Averett University, Danville Community College, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; the chairman or his designee of the Board of the Future of the Piedmont Foundation; a resident of the City of Danville to be appointed by the Danville City Council; a resident of Pittsylvania County to be appointed by the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors; and three nine citizens representing business and industry and residing in Southside Virginia, one three to be appointed by the Governor, one three to be appointed by the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections, and one three to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates.

B. The presidents or their designees of the named institutions of higher education and the chairman or his designee of the Board of the Future of the Piedmont Foundation shall serve on the Board until the expiration of their terms of office or until their successors shall qualify. Of the initial citizen appointees to be made in 2002, the City of Danville appointee shall serve for one year, the Pittsylvania County appointee shall serve for one year, the Governor's appointee shall serve for two years, the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections' appointee shall serve for two years, and the appointee of the Speaker of the House of Delegates shall serve for three years.

Thereafter, all such citizen appointments shall be for terms of three years, except that appointments to fill vacancies shall be for the unexpired terms. No citizen member of the Board shall be eligible to serve for or during more than two successive three-year terms; however, after expiration of a term of less than three years, or after the remainder of a three-year term to which a member was appointed to fill a vacancy, a member may serve two additional three-year terms, if so appointed.
