About Employers' Coalition on Health
Governance
ECOH is governed by its member companies. A senior leader from any non-healthcare provider member company in good standing is eligible for a board seat. Board positions are filled on a staggered basis and limited to three successive three year terms.
Board member candidates are surfaced through inquiries to the Executive Director and vetted by the Nominating Committee of the Board. Consideration is given to balanced representation of employer size, geography and economic sector. A balance of board member roles across senior management including corporate, financial, strategic, and human resources leadership is also considered. Board appointments are made by vote of the full board upon the occasion of a open seat.
This is a hands-on board, fully engaged in setting the strategic direction for ECOH and guiding progress. ECOH board members are arguably among the most savvy healthcare purchasers in the Nation.
