Must be a MROO Life member, an OMERS Pensioner, and reside in that zone.
Each of our nine (9) zones has a Zone Director, who is, by virtue of their elected position, also a board member. Zone Directors oversee and monitor the activities of the organization, approve budgets, attend board meetings, set policies, participate in Retirement Planning Seminars in their zone, and much more. Familiarity with Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, and Outlook, as well as on-line apps such as Zoom is important.
This position can require up to ten hours of work per week and Zone Directors receive a small honorarium for those tasks. Some limited travel (for which they are compensated) is also required including travel to the four annual Board Meetings. The Zone Director is also responsible for hosting the annual Spring Zone Meeting and other activities that take place in each zone.
Zone Directors are elected, or appointed if there if there are no nominees, for a three-year term, with a maximum of three terms. These elections take place at the Annual Zone Meetings and elections are staggered so only three (3) zones have elections in any single year.
If you are interested in becoming a Zone Director, please reach out and we will send you information along with details of when the next election will occur in your zone.
