The board of trustees may from time to time establish one or more advisory councils made up of representatives of qualified recipients and members of the private bar and communities serviced in order to assist in the promotion of IOLA accounts and to provide advice in the development and implementation of the programs initiated by this Part. The members of the advisory council will receive no compensation for their services but, in the discretion of the board, may be entitled to receive reimbursement for their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the discharge of their duties.
