Secretary’s Advisory Committee on
poultry health. The Committee serves as
a forum for the study of problems
relating to poultry health and, as
necessary, makes specific
recommendations to the Secretary

Agriculture may assist the industry in

New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and
Vermont), the South Atlantic Region
(Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland,

Virginia, and West Virginia), and the
Western Region (Alaska, Arizona,
California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho,
Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon,

be at least two nominees for each
position. To ensure the
recommendations of the Committee
have taken into account the needs of the
diverse groups served by the
Department, membership should
include, to the extent practicable,
individuals with demonstrated ability to
represent underrepresented groups
(minorities, women, and persons with
disabilities). At least one nominee from
each of the four regions must be from
such an underrepresented group. The
voting will be by secret ballot of official
delegates from the respective region,
and the results will be recorded. The
member-at-large will represent all of the
regions.
