§2412 Board of Directors

Summary

Create a Board of Directors for the Center with no more than 27 members. The President picks a Chairman (with Senate approval). The Board also includes the Secretaries of the Treasury, Commerce, and Labor, the Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and the Center’s Executive Director. The President also appoints at least five members from manufacturing and service industries, at least five from labor organizations, at least two from State or local government, at least one from the general public, at least one from higher education, and any other public or private members the President wants, all with Senate approval. Certain appointed members serve four-year terms that end when the President’s term ends. Other members (except the Chairman) serve while they remain head of their agency. Acting members needing Senate approval may not serve more than three months. Vacancies are filled for the rest of the term. Some appointed members may be paid at the daily GS–18 rate under 5 U.S.C. 5332 (including traveltime) and get expenses. Other members (except the Chairman and Executive Director) get no extra pay but are reimbursed for expenses. The Chairman may be paid like the paid members unless they hold another federal job. The Chairman must appoint an Executive Committee of up to seven people (including the Executive Director). That committee meets when the Chairman calls it, but at least once every 90 days.
