Eight of these members, one from each county within the San Joaquin Valley, must have experience and interest in representing ethnic and/or low-income communities. Two of the members shall be ethnic, small-business owners. Three members shall be members of the District’s Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), one representing each of the three CAC interest groups.

Interested candidates should have a demonstrated interest and experience in air-quality issues and in representing Valley residents and businesses, especially ethnic and low-income communities.
