The secretary in making appointments to said boards shall insure that members so appointed shall represent all regions of the commonwealth, the segments of the population served by the department and statewide older adult groups; provided, however, that at least fifty per cent of the members of any board so appointed shall be fifty-five years of age or over.
Members of any citizen advisory boards established by this section shall receive no compensation for their services, but may be reimbursed for their expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties.
