3080 Yonge Street, Suite 6060 Toronto, Ontario, M4N 3N1
POSITION PROFILE
Client Organization: Ontario Medical Association
Position Title: Board Directors
Location: Toronto, Ontario
THE ORGANIZATION
The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) represents the political, clinical and economic interests of the province’s medical profession. Practicing physicians, residents and students enrolled in any of the six Ontario faculties of medicine are eligible for OMA membership.
Founded in 1880, the OMA has from its beginning played a vital role in the development and promotion of healthcare services across Ontario. Today, the OMA represents Ontario’s 43,000+ physicians, medical students and retired physicians, advocating for and supporting doctors while strengthening the leadership role of doctors in caring for patients. Our vision is to be the trusted voice in transforming Ontario's health-care system.
To help serve the clinical and economic interests of Ontario’s physicians, the OMA has developed a suite of products and services that range from practice management seminars, physician health and wellness, product discounts for members, and a portfolio of insurance products developed specifically for the needs of its members.
A Modern OMA
The OMA has approved the most significant governance changes in its 138-year history, a monumental step forward in strengthening this world-class medical organization. These transformational changes will make the OMA's governance more skills-based, nimble and responsive, aligning it with best practices in industry and not-for-profit, member-driven organizations across Canada.
The new structure will empower OMA members through more direct connection to elected bodies and decision-making, with enhanced transparency into the OMA's structure and function. This will enable the OMA to represent members' priorities more effectively, including improved patient care and better support for doctors. Roles and responsibilities will be clarified to give the Board of Directors organizational oversight while a reenergized leadership body of physician delegates will lead generative thinking, focusing on driving and shaping health care policy.
Key changes in the governance structure include:
The Board of Directors will become smaller, more effective and skills-based consisting of 11 Directors, including three non-physicians, reduced from 26 members.
Replacing the current 250-member elected delegate Council will be a leaner General Assembly made up of:
an appointed Priority and Leadership Group;
a General Assembly Steering Committee;
appointed members of panels and working groups with clearly defined goals, objectives and work that help deliver on the overarching mandate.
The General Assembly will provide more meaningful ways for members to get involved and effect change within the OMA:
skills-based working groups, made up of OMA members who are engaged to deliver on the General Assembly identified priorities;
collaboration networks made up of OMA groups with common interests, specialties or locations.
Members-at-large will now elect Board Directors.
Members will have a binding vote on choosing their Presidents, rather than an advisory referendum. Members will also vote to directly ratify Physician Services Agreements (PSAs).
Mandate of the board of directors
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) is a group of elected physicians and non-physicians responsible for the supervision of the core activities of the OMA. Acting on behalf of its members, the Board is responsible for the governance of the OMA and is the highest decision-making authority within the organization.
The Board provides oversight for the management of the business and ensures that all significant systems and procedures are in place for the organization to run effectively, efficiently, and meet all legal and contractual requirements.
The Board develops the OMA’s approach to corporate governance, including a set of governance principles, policies, guidelines and structure specifically applicable to the OMA which will improve the effectiveness of the Board. The Board oversees all affairs of the OMA and exercises, as appropriate, the powers vested in the Board as per the OMA By-Laws, governance policies and all applicable laws and regulations.
The overarching role of the Board focuses on governance and stewardship rather than on running the day-to-day operations of the OMA, which is the responsibility of Management. The Board respects this distinction between the role of the Board and staff. The Board seeks to approve or reject Management recommendations and refrains from directing or instructing Management.
Composition of the board
The Board is comprised of a varied mix of skills, expertise, and diversity critical for effective oversight of the management of the OMA. Board Directors are elected by the OMA membership based on a standardized OMA candidate recruitment process. Each Board Director will possess, or develop, the requisite skills and will have access to the necessary tools required for their effective performance.
The OMA Board includes:
Eleven Directors composed of 8 physicians and 3 non-physicians;
A Board Chair and Vice-Chair, elected by Directors from among the Directors;
A President, who will also be one of the eleven voting Directors;
A President-Elect, elected by the members, who will sit as an Observer for one year;
An Immediate Past President who will sit as an Observer for one year.
Board Directors are elected directly by members during the regular election period.
General board duties and responsibilities
The Board of Directors, as individuals and as a collective, exercises its duties of oversight, care, skill, diligence, integrity, and loyalty to ensure effective, efficient, and agile Board performance that leads to OMA mission realization. Directors of the OMA govern with the goal of enhancing executive decision-making and improving the performance of the organization in serving its members.
The Board duties include the following:
Provide oversight to the CEO’s management of OMA business and the integrity and effectiveness of all affairs of the OMA;
Exercise the care, diligence, and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, including attentive, thorough, and careful effort in executing its responsibilities;
Consistently be guided by high integrity and ethics when executing its responsibilities;
Act in good faith and demonstrate loyalty to the OMA and its membership;
Protect the best interests of the OMA as a whole and not the interests of any specific stakeholder entity or constituency.
In addition, the Board of Directors delivers on the following general responsibilities:
Uphold the Vision, Mission and Core Values of the OMA;
Provide unifying and inspiring leadership for the OMA;
Approve the PSA negotiations mandate with input from the General Assembly;
Secure a proposed PSA and forwards to members for ratification;
Oversee CEO recruitment, support, and accountability;
Lead the strategic planning process with the CEO, Senior Management Team, and with input from the General Assembly;
Oversee financial performance and reporting;
