One county representative and one municipal representative must represent the four most populous counties and municipalities, to be nominated by the Tennessee County Services Association and the Tennessee Municipal League, respectively. These two appointments shall alternate among the four most populous counties and municipalities, so that these shall not be replaced with an official from the same county or municipality and so that all four counties and municipalities have been represented. Also, the county official and the municipal official shall not be from the same county at the time of their selection. At least one member of the committee must be female.
