Any member who misses three consecutive regular meetings or five regular meetings in a 12- month period or does not participate in one board -sponsored event shall be deemed to have resigned by the HRDB. Currently, the board has thirteen (13) members with three (3) members terms expiring. The term of Members Rhonda Anderson -Robinson, William Maxwell, and Lu Fontanez expire in May 2022. All members have indicated an interest in being considered for reappointment for another term ending May 2025. In 2021, Member Anderson -Robinson attended 8 out of 9 meetings, and Member Maxwell attended 7 out of 9 meetings. Additionally, both Members Anderson -Robinson and Maxwell participated in at least one board -sponsored event.
