members of that and other state commissions (there are more than 200 of them) are unpaid volunteers. You get to be a member by filling out a form and sending it in; you're "appointed" by the governor only in the sense that he signs the paperwork. Commission members are not interviewed or specifically chosen by a governor; these are advisory committees that meet - maybe as seldom as once a year - with the legislator assigned to the commission. These are not real government "jobs" at all. The governor does not get directly involved with the commissions and you probably will never meet him at all. https://www.sos.mn.gov/boards-commissions/ Boelter probably would have volunteered for the commission just in order to pad his rather sketchy resume and it's very doubtful that he ever met either Dayton or Walz.
