MMA Property & Casualty Pool Board of Directors

In 1987, the Association established a public self-funded property and casualty risk pool. Because of certain statutory requirements, the Executive Committee alone could not be named as the governing authority for the Risk Pool. State law requires that a majority of the members of a board of directors of a public pool be officials from participating pool members and, further, that there must be two public members who are not currently serving as elected or appointed officials.  Thus, under the contract establishing the Pool, the Board of Directors is composed of the Executive Committee of the Maine Municipal Association as the nucleus of the board, as many additional municipal officials as are necessary to ensure that a majority of the Board members are representing currently participating members, and two public members appointed by the Board.  The powers and duties of the Board are prescribed by the Pool Contract Agreement and entail all the normal corporate and legal authorities necessary to manage and administer the Pool, similar to those exercised by the Workers Compensation Board of Trustees.
