The members of the board shall be selected by member insurers subject to the approval of the commissioner. Vacancies on the board shall be filled for the remaining period of the term by a majority vote of the remaining board members, subject to the approval of the commissioner.

(3) Members of the board may be reimbursed from the assets of the association for expenses incurred by them as members of the board of directors.
