The members of the board shall be qualified electors of their respective county, two of whom, one from each county, shall be appointed for terms of two years; four members, two from each county, for terms of three years; and two members, one from each county, for terms of four years. Initial terms shall commence on the date of the adoption of the resolution creating the district. Thereafter, all appointments of the members shall be for terms of four years. The membership of the board shall be inclusive and reflect the racial, gender, geographic, urban/rural, and economic diversity of the state.
