The board shall consist of seven members to be appointed by the Governor for a term of three years. No member may serve more than three consecutive full terms. However, appointment to fill an unexpired term is not considered a complete term for this purpose. The board shall be composed of two professional engineers, two architects, two land surveyors, and one member from the public. The Governor may stagger the terms to enable the board to have different terms expire each year. Any member appointed to the board prior to July1, 2005, shall serve the four-year term to which the member was originally appointed. Any member appointed to the board after July1, 2005, shall serve a three-year term.
