Which board has one member from each congressional district and five at large, appointed by the Governor, with 7-year terms?

• A. Board of Natural Resources
• B. Regents
• C. Educational Board
• D. State Transportation Board

Answer: (A)

Georgia’s system of public higher education is governed by a board whose structure centers on geographic representation: one member from each congressional district plus five at large. All members are appointed by the Governor and serve seven-year terms. This exact setup—nineteen members in total, with district-based seats and five at-large seats—fits the Regents, the body that oversees the University System of Georgia. The other boards govern different state functions and do not use this district-plus-at-large configuration, so they don’t match the description as closely.
