This interaction between the boards and the professional associations represents an area of possible public perception of conflict of interest. Tables 1 and 2 above demonstrate the years of experience required for appointment to the board. • Experience requirements for appointment to the board were indicated by 63 percent (121) of the professionals surveyed. However, the least support for the experience requirement was displayed by MDS and DOS with nearly half of those surveyed indicating that there is no experience requirement for appointment (Table 1). Overall, 58 percent (112) indicated that 1 to 5 years experience was required. A substantial number, 40 percent (77), did not answer (Table 2).
