A
county historical commission should be composed of at least seven residents of
the county who broadly reflect the age, ethnic, and geographic diversity of the
county. Members are appointed by
the county commissioner’s court for a term of two years. Each commission member
must have an interest in historic preservation and an understanding of local
history and resources. Commission members must be willing and able to provide
service beyond attending the required four meetings per year, and to
participate in cultural and heritage events. They should be willing to work and
partner with people and organizations for the good of the county. Commission
members should be willing to attend preservation education opportunities
outside of their county.
