6Q: Co-opted members

You could also call this:

"People chosen to help a Conservation Board for a little while"

A Conservation Board can choose a person to join the Board for a certain amount of time. You can be chosen if the Board thinks you are suitable. The Board decides how long you get to be a part of it.

As a co-opted member of the Board, you can go to meetings and say what you think. However, you cannot vote on decisions. This means you can share your ideas, but you do not get to choose what the Board decides.
