The Colorado Foundation for Medical Care Board of
Directors sets overall policy and direction and has ultimate
oversight responsibility for the corporation. CFMC’s board
is comprised of seventeen members, representing a variety of
health care settings, disciplines, and stakeholders across
Colorado. The bylaws ensure that the board is not comprised
of a majority of physicians or any type of practitioner or
profession. As of 2008, fourteen board members may serve up
to two consecutive 3-year terms or six consecutive years; up
to three members may serve no longer than nine consecutive
years. Election of regular board members occurs at the
annual meeting each October and is staggered so that 29% to
35% of members are elected each year. The CFMC board does
not have CFMC employee or staff membership.
At least two-thirds of the board members are independent and
have not been compensated by CFMC within the last year for
non-governing body services. The chair and vice chair of the
board may receive compensation for their time spent weekly
overseeing CFMC management, $1000 and $500 per month,
respectively. Travel and per diem reimbursement for board
members is consistent with Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) and Quality Improvement Organization (QIO)
reimbursement guidelines.
