Board of Directors


The FSC US Board of Directors consists of up to fifteen individuals, all of whom are US-based FSC members. Each of the three FSC chambers (Social, Economic and Environmental) has three representatives which are elected by US-based FSC members and serve for a three-year term. An additional two individuals may be appointed in each chamber by the Board, typically to ensure a full range of perspectives and expertise.
