Organization
The Planning Board currently has a Chair and four Associate Members, all appointed by the Governor and requiring the consent of the Puerto Rico Senate.
As a result of the current partisan split between the Executive and Legislative branches during the 2005-2008 term, half of the associate members identify with Governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá's Popular Democratic Party and half identify with Senate President Kenneth McClintock's New Progressive Party.
