Board members serve four-year terms. Seven members of the board are appointed by the President of the United States in consultation with the state's congressional delegation. Two board members hold the seat as part of their leadership role within our neighboring agencies. (These ex-officio members have full voting rights.)
Of the seven presidential appointees, at least five must be New Mexico residents. Federal employees cannot be appointed to the board.
