Governance & Bylaws
Opimian is a not-for-profit society governed by its members through an elected Board of Directors and four standing committees. Our bylaws, mandates, and founding documents are open and accessible.
Member-Elected, Committee-Driven
The Opimian Board of Directors works through four standing committees. Each committee operates under a published mandate and reports back to the Board. Together they cover financial oversight, governance, board nominations, and human resources for the society.
-
Audit Committee
Oversees the integrity of Opimian's financial statements, internal controls over financial reporting, regulatory compliance, the role of the external auditor, and information-technology risk.
-
Governance Committee
Reviews governance matters and advises the Board on its overall stewardship responsibility for the Opimian Society.
-
Nominations Committee
Reviews the makeup of the Board in accordance with the Bylaws and Nominations Guidance, identifies potential Board members, and recommends candidates.
-
HR Committee
Plays an active role in shaping and approving executive compensation and other Human Resource programs — supporting, but not replacing, the role of management.
