What must board members serve without?

Board members typically serve without compensation in the context of various regulatory and professional boards, including those related to chiropractic practice. This means they do not receive a regular salary or payment for their time and efforts in serving on the board. The principle behind this is to ensure that those who are appointed to the board are motivated by public service rather than financial gain.

While board members may be eligible for reimbursement for certain expenses incurred while performing their duties (such as travel or materials), the focus here is specifically on their service being uncompensated in terms of a salary or wage. This structure is designed to promote the integrity and objectivity of the board’s decisions, as members are not influenced by financial incentives.

The term "compensation" captures the idea that members are not financially rewarded for their involvement, which is essential in maintaining the impartiality and overall mission of the board within the chiropractic profession.
