. (a) Members of the board shall be selected from outstanding
lay citizens of California who have a strong interest in the further
development and improvement of the California Community Colleges.
(b) Members of the board, to the greatest extent possible, should
be inclusive and representative of the many demographic groups found
in California, and the board should reflect diversity of race and
gender, and should include, among others, disabled persons and
veterans. In furtherance of the mission of the California Community
Colleges, a member of the board should embrace the basic role and
responsibility of a member of the board to bring his or her own best
thinking and personal views to the board's discussion, determining
his or her own position on each issue rather than being bound to
represent or advocate for the positions of a particular organization
or constituency.
