26ZC: Chairpersons of Fish and Game Councils

You could also call this:

"Who leads Fish and Game Council meetings"

When you are part of a Fish and Game Council, you and the other members choose one person to be in charge, called the chairperson. This person is in charge for as long as they are a member, or for a shorter time if that's what the members decide. You pick a chairperson to lead your meetings when they are there. If the chairperson is not at a meeting, the members who are there choose someone else to be in charge of that meeting.
