extent practicable, of representatives of the same organizations as the 
National Board, except that the mayor or other appropriate heads of 
government will replace the Federal members, and except that each local 
board administering program funds for a locality within which is located 
a reservation (as such term is defined in section 1452(d) of title 
25,\1\ or a portion thereof, shall include a board member who is a 
member of an Indian tribe (as such term is defined in section 
5302(a)(17) of this title.\1\ The chairperson of the local board shall 
be elected by a majority of the members of the local board. Local boards 
are encouraged to expand participation of other private nonprofit 
organizations on the local board.
