Board of Directors

At Foresters, strong Corporate Governance helps us protect our members and the funds they invest with our organization. Our Board of Directors - elected every four years – is responsible for the business and fraternal affairs of Foresters. The Board oversees the strategic direction and management of our organization, and ensures that processes are in place to ensure the integrity and transparency of our financial reporting and that we conduct our affairs in compliance with laws and regulations. Our current Board of Directors was elected in 2009.

 

 

 

Three standing Committees support our Board of Directors in its stewardship of Foresters. From time to time ad hoc or temporary Committees are formed such as the Nominating Committee and the Constitution Committee, which are constituted in advance of each International Assembly, or are a Committee to manage a special project, or acquisition. The Board can form other Committees on a standing or ad hoc basis as necessary in order to fulfill its stewardship responsibilities.

 

The primary accountabilities for each of the Board Committees are described below.
