Sec. 6. Board. The Secretary shall appoint an Illinois Board of Athletic Trainers as follows: 7 persons who shall be appointed by and shall serve in an advisory capacity to the Secretary. Two members must be licensed physicians in good standing in this State; 4 members must be licensed athletic trainers in good standing, and actively engaged in the practice or teaching of athletic training in this State; and 1 member must be a public member who is not licensed under this Act, or a similar Act of another jurisdiction, and is not a provider of athletic health care service.

Members shall serve 4 year terms and until their successors are appointed and qualified. No member shall be reappointed to the Board for more than 2 consecutive terms. Appointments to fill vacancies shall be made in the same manner as original appointments, for the unexpired portion of the vacated term.

The Secretary shall have the authority to remove or suspend any member of the Board for cause at any time before the expiration of his or her term. The Secretary shall be the sole arbiter of cause which in the opinion of the Secretary reasonably justifies such termination.

The Secretary may consider the recommendation of the Board on questions involving standards of professional conduct, discipline, and qualifications of candidates and license holders under this Act.

Four members of the Board shall constitute a quorum. A quorum is required for all Board decisions. Members of the Board have no liability in any action based upon any disciplinary proceeding or other activity performed in good faith as a member of the Board. Members of the Board shall be reimbursed for all legitimate, necessary, and authorized expenses incurred in attending the meetings of the Board, from funds appropriated for that purpose.
