How long can a member serve after their term has expired?

A member can serve until a successor is appointed or for up to sixty days after their term has expired. This provision ensures continuity in governance and operations by allowing an outgoing member to fulfill their responsibilities while awaiting the appointment or election of a replacement. This temporary extension helps to avoid any leadership gaps that could disrupt the functioning of the organization, agency, or board in which the member serves. These measures are essential to maintain stability and ensure that there is always someone in the position who can make decisions or oversee ongoing projects, thus supporting effective management during transitions. The other choices do not align with the established rules governing the duration of service following the expiration of a term.
