SECTION 1. The guiding principle for the composition of the membership on the Education Commission of the States (the commission) from each party state is that the members representing such state shall, by virtue of their training, experience, knowledge, or affiliations be in a position collectively to reflect broadly the interests of the state government, higher education, the state education system, local education, lay and professional, and public and nonpublic educational leadership.
