SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Individuals who are interested in serving on

Applications must include: (a) a cover letter identifying one or more

detailing the applicant's relevant experience for the position applied 
for, and (c) a brief biography. Applications should be submitted via

describe or emphasize in support of your candidacy, please do so within 
your cover letter. Members of the Board are appointed by and serve at 
the pleasure of the Under Secretary, Office of Intelligence and 
Analysis. The Board membership selection and appointment process is 
designed to afford the Under Secretary the advisory input of the most 
capable, diverse, and novel perspectives that the country has to offer. 
The appointment will be for a term of up to 5 years, with the 
opportunity to be reappointed for one additional term. Individuals 
selected for the appointment will serve as Representatives (i.e., 
members qualified to represent the interests of a specific group, 
industry, or organization, by virtue of his or her employment, 
education, experience, or affiliation with a specific group, industry, 
or organization). The Secretary has established the Board pursuant to 
section 871(a) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. In recognition of 
the sensitive nature of the subject matter involved, the Secretary 
exempted the Board from The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 
U.S.C. ch. 10. The Board will meet as often as needed to fulfill its 
mission, but typically four times each fiscal year, to address its 
objectives and duties. Board members may be reimbursed for travel and 
per diem incurred in the performance of their duties as members of the 
Board. All travel for Board business must be approved in advance by the 
Designated Federal Officer. The Board will consist of up to 40 members 
who are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Under Secretary. 
In order for the Under Secretary to fully leverage broad-ranging 
experience and education, the Board must be diverse with regard to 
professional and technical expertise. DHS is committed to pursuing 
opportunities, consistent with applicable law, to compose a committee 
that reflects the diversity of the nation's people. In this 
solicitation for Board Members, we will consider applications for the 
following categories:
     National or Homeland Security including Intelligence 
Collection and Information Sharing.
     Privacy and Civil Liberties.
     State, Local, Tribal, Territorial, and Private Sector 
officials with Homeland Security Responsibilities.
     Law.

Resources.
