First Nations peoples have lived on this part of Turtle Island for millennia, stewarding the land, the water and all that contributes to life in this region. Today, the culture and presence of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples enrich the lands and people of this territory. More than two centuries ago, the Mississauga people welcomed settlers to this territory, providing sustenance and engaging in trade and commerce. Today, York University campuses are located on the Toronto Purchase Treaty No. 13 lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the lands of the Anishinabek of the Williams Treaties First Nations. Our campuses are also situated on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Treaty history is foundational, and it is our collective responsibility to honour the land, as we honour and respect those who have gone before us, those who are here and those who have yet to come. We are grateful for the opportunity to be learning, working and thriving on this land, and we commit to learn the truth and be active in the process of reconciliation.

Our campuses are also situated on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Treaty history is foundational, and it is our collective responsibility to honour the land, as we honour and respect those who have gone before us, those who are here and those who have yet to come. We are grateful for the opportunity to be learning, working and thriving on this land, and we commit to learn the truth and be active in the process of reconciliation.

Join the Board of Directors of Ontario Medical Association Insurance
Insurance Made Exclusively for Doctors
If you are committed to supporting Ontario physicians’ financial health and wellbeing and serving their long-term financial interests, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Ontario Medical Association Insurance (OMAI) is seeking a non-physician leader with expertise in insurance and financial services to join its Board of Directors for a three-year term beginning in September 2026. This role is critical in strengthening governance, shaping the organization’s direction, and supporting the long-term sustainability and growth of programs that serve physicians across Ontario.
As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ontario Medical Association (OMA), OMAI operates on a not-for-profit basis. OMAI supports healthcare providers across Ontario by offering a range of third-party life and living benefits, along with products and services that help give physicians the financial protection they need.
OMAI gives OMA members personalized advice on the insurance options that best protect their assets, business, and lifestyle. Their solutions are tailored to physicians and their families across Ontario, taking into account the unique needs they have at different stages of their careers. Products include both single-solution and combination products such as retirement protection; lifestyle protection (health and dental insurance, life insurance, travel insurance, and more); business protection (office/clinic, cyber liability, clinical staff benefits, and more); and asset protection (home and auto insurance).
The organization is looking for Board Directors who bring a combination of governance experience, strategic perspective, and relevant domain expertise such as in insurance, financial services, governance, and strategy. As a Board Director, you will play a strategic role in guiding OMAI’s evolution as a specialized insurance and financial services organization. OMAI is seeking one to two non-physician Directors with the ability to provide thoughtful guidance to management, particularly in areas related to long-term sustainability, program design, and alignment with member needs. Additionally, prior governance and leadership experience is an asset but not required. The ideal candidate brings:
Experience in insurance, group benefits, or financial services
Commitment to OMAI’s mission and values
Passion for digital innovation and transformation, with an interest in how technology can be leveraged to better meet member needs and enhance service delivery
Experience with and understanding of member-based or professional organizations, Board governance, and fiduciary responsibility
This is a unique opportunity to directly influence the supporting of Ontario physicians’ financial health and wellbeing.
OMAI has retained Promeus Inc. to invite nominations and expressions of interest to fill the upcoming Board vacancy. To confidentially explore this opportunity or to provide nominations, please email your CV and expression of interest, query, and/or nomination, to Judy Mandelman or Heather Spiegel at resumes@promeus.ca .
