The members of the board shall qualify by taking an oath of office before a notary public or other officer authorized to administer oaths in this State. At the first meeting of the board in each calendar year the board must elect a president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer from its membership. A majority of the members of the board constitutes a quorum. Regular meetings must be held at least four times a year. Special meetings may be held upon the call of the president or any two members of the board.

If a board member is disqualified and his absence results in the lack of a quorum or an adequate number of members to perform official functions, the Governor may deputize an individual to replace him during the period of disqualification. The deputized individual shall meet the same qualifications as the member he is replacing and shall take the same oath as required of other members of the board.

The board shall have a seal and the impression must be attached to all official documents issued by it. The board shall keep a full record of all its proceedings and maintain a complete registry of all licensed social workers.

Each member may receive for his services mileage, expenses, subsistence, and per diem as provided by law for members of state boards, committees, and commissions.
