One must be a physician trained in clinical nutrition; and(c)
Four must be licensed dietitians who have been engaged in the practice of dietetics for at least five years.(2)
The term of office of each member is four years, but a member serves at the pleasure of the Governor. A member is eligible for reappointment. If a person serves two consecutive full terms, a period of at least four years must elapse before the person is again eligible for appointment to serve on the board. If there is a vacancy on the board for any reason, the Governor shall make an appointment to become immediately effective for the unexpired term. A member shall hold the member’s office until the appointment and qualification of a successor.(3)
Members of the board are entitled to compensation and expenses as provided in ORS 292.495 (Compensation and expenses of members of state boards and commissions).
