Two members of the Board shall be owners of, or hold a shareholder's interest in, a unit in a community association at the time of appointment who are not licensees under this Act and have no direct affiliation with the community association's community association manager. This Board shall act in an advisory capacity to the Department. (b) The term of each member shall be for 4 years and until that member's successor is appointed.

The Secretary shall remove from the Board any member whose license has become void or has been revoked or suspended and may remove any member of the Board for neglect of duty, misconduct, incompetence, or for missing 2 board meetings during any one fiscal year. A member who is subject to formal disciplinary proceedings shall be disqualified from all Board business until the charge is resolved. A member also shall be disqualified from any matter on which the member cannot act objectively. (c) Four Board members shall constitute a quorum. A quorum is required for all Board decisions. A vacancy in the membership of the Board shall not impair the right of a quorum to exercise all of the rights and perform all of the duties of the Board.
