What is meant by “within one year of appointment to a board”?
Board members serving on the authority board at the time the Act took effect should participate in training by the end of the authority’s fiscal year that had its start date between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006. For example, if your authority is on a calendar fiscal year, your board members should complete training by December 31, 2006 to be in compliance with this requirement. Board members appointed on or after the effective date of the Act are required to participate in training within one year of appointment.
