Since 1990, the OTF and the Ontario government have successfully attracted board members with the appropriate qualifications in investments, finance, accounting, law, actuarial science, business management and technology to properly oversee management’s decisions and actions.

Each sponsor appoints four members and, together, they select the chair. Each board member is appointed for a two-year term and can only serve four consecutive terms. All members serve on the Investment Committee. If a member serves on the board of a corporation, trust or other entity that is a reporting issuer under securities laws, this information is disclosed under Affiliations.

The first chair, Gerald K. Bouey, was a former governor of the Bank of Canada and served from 1990 to 1996. Ted Medland, former CEO of Wood Gundy Inc., served as chair from 1997 to 1999. Robert W. Korthals, former president of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, was the chair from 2000 to 2006. Eileen Mercier, a former executive with Abitibi-Price Inc., was appointed chair effective January 2007.
