How are trustees chosen?
Trustees are elected from the nine geographic districts established by the Board of Trustees of the Tennessee Risk Management Trust. Members of the Board of Trustees serve staggered three-year terms with three members elected each year. The term of a Trustee is three years beginning July 1. Voting delegates of each member in a district whose trustee’s term is set to expire is contacted in April and invited to send one to three nominations to the Trust Administrator. Each entity which is a member of the Trust may designate one voting delegate for each Trust program (worker’s compensation and board liability) in which the Trust member participates. Each voting delegate will receive a ballot for the purpose of voting for a district representative to serve a three year term on the Board of Trustees. Delegates may vote only for the representative to the Board of Trustees for the district in which their entity is located.
