Persons who are or will be community appointee Review Committee members in a particular year are eligible to become chair or vice chair in that year, and are eligible to participate in the election for that year’s chair.

Nominations for the chair will close during the first meeting of the year. All nominations must be accepted. Self nominations are considered to be accepted.
