ASBA is looking for four members to serve as Trustees on the Arizona School Boards Association Insurance Trust (ASBAIT) board. Term appointments are four years in length beginning July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2026. View the video to learn more.

Applicants must be from an ASBAIT member district and can be a superintendent, business manager or school board member. Applications will be reviewed by the ASBA Executive Director. Those selected will move forward for virtual interviews on Tuesday, May 24, 2022. Selected candidates will be approved by the ASBA Board of Directors.

ASBAIT was set up and operates by an “Agreement and Declaration of Trust” in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, including, without limitation, Arizona Revised Statutes Section 15-382 as it may be amended from time to time.

Operational authority of the Trust is by the Board of Trustees. The ASBAIT Board of Trustees is comprised of governing board members, superintendents, and business managers from member districts from across the state. As Trustees end their term of service and seats become available, the ASBA executive director will select, interview and make Trustee recommendations to the Arizona School Boards Association’s (ASBA) board for appointment. Trustees are appointed to serve an initial term of four years, July 1 – June 30, with the possibility of reappointment for additional term(s). Efforts are made to keep a balance between the types of Trustees and the geographic locations for representation to maintain a diverse board to best govern the insurance trust.

The Trustees meet four to six times per year to conduct the business of the Trust. Their major responsibilities include approving renewal procedures, overall budget, contractors, and independent audit and actuarial reports. The Trustees may also hear and make decisions on Appeals or Exceptions for claim payments to member employees or dependents.

If you are interested in serving on the ASBAIT Board of Trustees, please email your letter of interest and resume to Kristi Sisk, Executive Assistant to the ASBA Executive Director at ksisk@azsba.org by Tuesday, May 10, 2022.
