For how long do the President and Secretary of the Board serve?

The correct duration for which the President and Secretary of the Board serve is one year. This reflects the typical structure and operational requirements of many boards, including those governing professional licensure. A one-year term allows for regular turnover in leadership roles, facilitating fresh perspectives and enabling different board members to gain experience in administrative duties.

In contrast, longer terms, such as two, three, or four years, might lead to prolonged leadership by the same individuals, potentially hindering the infusion of new ideas and practices essential for keeping up with changing standards in the profession. This structure aims to ensure that the governance of the board remains dynamic and responsive to the needs of the profession and public interest.
