MPR is overseen by three different Boards: MPR, MPR of Missouri, and MPR of Kansas, Inc. Each state has its own individual Board and the MPR Board oversees both of the State Boards. Each of the Boards has a slightly different role, but come together in making the best decisions for the entire pool. The MPR of Missouri Board consists of 11 Members and the MPR of Kansas, Inc. Board consists of 7 Members. These Board Members are elected by the Member Representatives of each Member entity at the annual Members’ meeting, which typically takes place at our annual fall conference.

The Boards meet throughout the year to review policies, hear and review appeals, approve new Members into the pools and to always stay abreast of the pools’ financial condition. A Board Member must be a full-time employee of the current Member of the MPR pool, and may serve up to two, consecutive 3-year terms. If at any time the Board Member’s entity chooses to withdraw from MPR, they must resign their position and the vacancy will be filled by a current Member chosen by the appropriate Board.

If you have any questions about your role as a Member Representative, please contact Cassie Howerton, Board Secretary at (816) 292-7510.
