Due to the fact that these are brand new committees that were created and appointed in accordance with the updated 2022 INA Bylaws, the two-year terms have been staggered to start the even/odd rotations. Some of these individuals will serve a two-year term and others will serve a one-year term. Once the rotation has been established, everyone will serve two-year terms based on the year in which they were appointed.
