The Board of Directors oversees the management of the OEB’s business and affairs, and is responsible for the governance of the OEB. The Chair of the Board of Directors is accountable to the Minister of Energy and Electrification for the effective delivery of the OEB’s mandate and for ensuring the independence of decision-making by Commissioners and others that carry out the OEB’s adjudication work. An Adjudication Committee of the Board of Directors receives information from the Chief Commissioner on the efficiency and timeliness of our adjudication work, and reports that information to the Board of Directors.
The Province of Ontario has appointed Mark E. White as Chair of the OEB’s Board of Directors. Mr. White is an accomplished leader in regulation, policy and governance. He brings a strong background in law, risk management, markets and organizational transformation, having served as the inaugural Chief Executive Officer of Ontario’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority. Geoff Owen, an OEB Director since September 2021 and Chair of the Board of Directors’ Letter of Direction Task Force, has been appointed as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors. With Mr. White and Mr. Owen, the Board of Directors will continue its work to support the OEB through the energy transition, strengthen public trust and provide strong leadership and good governance.
