Advisory Council Terms

Advisory Council members serve 3-year terms, with roughly one-third expiring each year. Advisory Council members can apply to serve a second consecutive 3-year term, but no member may serve on the council for more than six consecutive years. An Advisory Council member must submit a new application for consideration for a second consecutive 3-year term. After a 3-year separation from the council, the member may reapply if he or she is an active member of ACHI in good standing.
