* Applications remain active for one year unless withdrawn by the applicant.
* During that year, applications to a board may be considered for any vacancy on that board.
* Board contacts can answer questions about applying for a seat.
* Appointing authorities—organizations tasked with deciding who to appoint—review applications and make appointments.
