Vacancies in the four positions appointed by the Haywood County Commissioners will be posted on the county website and distributed to the publication sunshine list as they occur. The Commissioners interview the applicants and then vote on the appointments in open session.
Appointees to the HCC Board of Trustees must comply with the requirements of House Bill 1843, the State Government Ethics Act.
