appointed to successive terms on the Board of Directors. Each member of the
Board of Directors shall be reimbursed for his or her reasonable expenses
incurred in attendance at meetings or when otherwise engaged in the business of
the Authority and shall be compensated at the rate provided in &#xA7; 2.2-2813

of the Authority.

B. The Governor shall designate one member of the Board of Directors as
