The Chairperson of the Commission shall be elected by the members to serve a term of one-year renewable for one additional year.

    Nominations should be typed and should include a resume providing an adequate description of the nominee's qualifications, including information that would enable the Department of the Interior to make an informed decision regarding meeting the membership requirements of the Commission and permit the Department to contact a potential member.
