look closely, the two members that were appointed, were

the next elections.
I believe they were replacing elected board members that had resigned,
so they were appointed to elected seats which were empty at the time.
It makes sense that their appointment is only until the next election.
That's not the case with the treasurer position - as far as I know,
that is intended to be permanently an appointed seat.
I don't know that I've ever seen anything saying that this position
wouldn't be an elected one. Of course, maybe I haven't seen a lot of
information, but without something specific there's no real reason to
assume this to be true. To avoid further speculation on it, maybe a
board member would be so kind as to tell whether the position of
treasurer is generally an elected or an appointed one.
