The form to be signed upon appointment can be found here.
This form requires Appointees to:
- Acknowledge receipt of the Governor’s Code of Ethics;
- Acknowledge reading the Governor’s Code of Ethics;
- Certify compliance with the terms of the Governor’s Code of Ethics or request a waiver as set forth in the Code of Ethics; and

Most board and commission members serve at the pleasure of the Governor, meaning they may be removed at any time. Board and commission members who may only be removable for cause may be removed for violating the Governor’s Code of Ethics.
Most volunteers who are not otherwise receiving a state salary for board or commission service will be eligible to receive a per diem of at least $50 per day for their service.
Members of boards and commissions who receive compensation of more than $30,000.00 per year may be required to authorize release of criminal record history and tax records to the Vermont Department of Human Resources as a condition of appointment.
