Appointed members
Appointed members are individuals selected to serve on a committee, board, or council by a relevant authority or leader, rather than being elected by the public. Their role is to contribute expertise, provide guidance, or represent specific interests within the organization. Appointed members often bring specialized knowledge and are chosen to ensure effective decision-making, oversight, or diverse perspectives. Their appointment is usually based on criteria set by the appointing authority, and their tenure can vary based on the rules of the organization.
