How OMEX is Governed Ultimate authority at OMEX is vested in the Board of Directors (formerly known as the Advisory Board). The Board is the voice of the membership in matters of governance and oversight. Their roles and responsibilities are outlined in the Reciprocal Agreement and include responsibility for ensuring the financial integrity of the Reciprocal, complying with regulatory requirements, overseeing management performance and addressing governance issues raised by the members. The Board may be comprised of 9-12 members with one-third rotating off the Board each year to allow for maximum opportunity among the membership to serve on the OMEX Board. There are currently 11 Board members. The current OMEX Board of Directors are: - Peter Honeyborne, Director, Treasury Services & Deputy Treasurer, City of Brampton (Board Chair)
- Joy Jackson, Risk Manager, City of London
- Alan Selby, Treasurer, County of Dufferin
- Brian Knott, City Solicitor/Clerk, City of Sarnia
- Linda Leeds, Director of Corporate Services/Treasurer, Town of Milton
- Karen Craggs, Deputy Treasurer, Town of Orangeville
- Rosalie Evans, City Solicitor, City of Thunder Bay
- Shelby Askins-Hager, Manager, Purchasing & Risk Management, City of Windsor
- Kevin Williams, Director of Community Services, City of Kawartha Lakes
- Cheryl Horrobin, Director of Finance & Business Services, Municipality of Leamington
- Anne Louise Heron, Chief Administrative Officer, Town of Lincoln
The Board, in accordance with the Reciprocal Agreement, has created two Standing Committees to assist them--the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee. The Audit Committee's mandate is to assist the Board in monitoring the financial reporting and audit issues. The current Audit Committee is composed of Tony Houad, City of Windsor (Chair); Brian McKay, City of Sarnia and Linda Leeds, Town of Milton. The Nominating Committee is responsible for ensuring that appropriate candidates are nominated for both Board and Audit Committee positions in accordance with criteria established by the Reciprocal Agreement and the Nominating Committee Terms of Reference. The current Nominating Committee is chaired by Valerie Critchley, City of Windsor.
