§ 4421. Board of Directors: Membership. (a) The affairs of NMHC shall be managed by a board composed of five persons; three of whom shall be residents of Saipan; one each shall be residents of Rota and Tinian; and two members of the five shall be from the private sector. (b) The board members shall be appointed, and may be reappointed, by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. (c) A director shall be a Commonwealth resident and may be an official employee, other than a member of the Commonwealth legislature or the Commonwealth government. (d) No person shall be barred from serving on the board because the person is a tenant or homebuyer in housing of NMHC. Such director may participate fully in all meetings concerning matters that affect all of the tenants or home buyers, even though such matters affect that director as well. However, no such director may participate in or be present at any meeting (except in a capacity as a tenant or homebuyer), or be counted or treated as a member of the board, concerning any matter involving his or her individual rights, obligations or status as a tenant or homebuyer. (e) No official or employee of the federal government may be a director. Source: DL 5-67, § 4-1; amended by PL 3-22, § 1; amended by PL 20-87 § 6 (Feb. 5, 2019).
