About OSBIE

Board of Directors

OSBIE values the input and representation from our Regional Directors to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of our member boards.  The OSBIE Board meets approximately four times per year.  Each term as a director is for two years.  An employee or Trustee of a member board may serve on the OSBIE Board.  No “insurance” qualifications are necessary.  A strong belief in the benefits of a board-owned, non-profit joint venture and a desire to learn more about Finance and Insurance would be beneficial.  OSBIE needs the counsel of knowledgeable and committed individuals to assist the Exchange in meeting the changing needs of schools through a strategic perspective.  Members should also be willing to commit their time, open mindedness and innovative thinking to undergo the required training and to effectively serve on the OSBIE Board and its various committees.

In 2005 the OSBIE Board of Directors, through the work of its Governance Committee, developed a new Governance model for the organization, including the Governance Committee Terms of Reference and 8 Governance Principles for OSBIE.  With the ever increasing focus on Board Governance, this was a timely and important project for the OSBIE Board to undertake. 

The Committee established an excellent governance model for OSBIE that was approved by the full board and will result in keeping OSBIE current with the financial services industry.   In 2010, this framework was reviewed and updated by the Governance Committee and a ninth Principle was added.
