Members may serve two consecutive three-year terms. New board members are appointed based upon experience with trail use and trail construction, community involvement, trail user group participation, ability to represent other trail users, ability to devote adequate time to the duties, ADA knowledge and experience. 

Board members represent each of the following trail user interests and are active members and volunteers with the groups they represent: pedestrian, equestrian, off-highway motorcycling, all-terrain vehicle riding, bicycling, mountain bicycling, accessibility, water trail and general trail use.
