About the OI

The Council of the OI was established in 1943 and its members are typically drawn from the academic community to advise the Board of Directors on policy, programmatic, and professional matters of concern to the OI. The Board of Directors (formerly the Executive Board) was established in 1992 and determines matters of policy and has responsibility for the financial and general management and for resource development of the OI. The OI is incredibly grateful to all of the individuals listed below for their service and considers each of them “forever” members of the Council and Board.
