How is a vacancy in the Board of Accountancy filled?

Filling a vacancy in the Board of Accountancy typically involves appointing someone to serve for the unexpired portion of the term. This means that if a board member resigns or is otherwise unable to serve, the replacement will take over for the remainder of that member's term rather than starting a new term. This approach ensures continuity in governance and allows for the board to maintain its operations without the interruption that could occur if a new full-term appointment were required.

This process also reflects a common administrative practice in boards and commissions to quickly address vacancies while minimizing disruption and ensuring that the board remains fully functional. It is important to follow this procedure to uphold the integrity and responsibilities of the Board of Accountancy in overseeing accountancy practices effectively.
