The orientation workshop shall be conducted prior to appointees taking the oath of office. 7. Appointees are limited to a maximum of two consecutive full terms on the same committee. If an appointee has prior consecutive service as the result of filling a vacancy, prior service shall not be included in the count of three, consecutive full terms. Additionally, service on other committees shall not be included in the count of three, consecutive full terms. 8.
