A vacancy on the Advisory Board does not stop the Board from performing its duties and is filled like the original position. Board members generally receive no pay, but may receive travel expenses, and Congress may fund this work.

(b) Compensation and expenses of members. A Board member who is not otherwise a United States officer or employee serves without compensation. When performing services under this chapter away from home or the member's regular business place, the member may receive travel expenses, including a daily amount instead of subsistence, in the same way intermittently employed government workers may receive expenses under sections 5701 through 5707 of title 5.

Any vacancy in the Advisory Board shall not affect its duties under this title and shall be filled in the same manner as the original position.
Members of the Advisory Board shall serve without compensation, if not otherwise officers or employees of the United States, except that they shall, while away from their homes or regular places of business in the performance of services under this chapter, be allowed travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, in the same manner as persons employed intermittently in the Government service are allowed expenses under sections 5701 through 5707 of title 5.
