What is the maximum number of consecutive terms a member can serve on the Board?

The maximum number of consecutive terms a member can serve on the Board is restricted to two terms. This limit is typically put in place to ensure a rotation of board members, encouraging fresh perspectives and ideas while preventing any potential stagnation that could arise from extended tenures. Limiting the terms also enhances accountability and engagement among board members, contributing to a more dynamic governance structure.

In the context of the Maryland Massage Board, adhering to this rule is essential for maintaining effective regulation and oversight of the massage therapy profession, ensuring that the Board can respond to the evolving needs of both practitioners and the public effectively. Such policies are common across many professional licensing boards to promote diversity of thought and prevent consolidation of power within the Board.
