About Opimian

Governance & Bylaws

Opimian is a not-for-profit wine club governed by its members through an elected Board of Directors and four standing committees. Our bylaws, mandates, and founding documents are open and accessible.

Board of Directors

Member-Elected, Committee-Driven

The Opimian Board of Directors works through four standing committees. Each committee operates under a published mandate and reports back to the Board. Together they cover financial oversight, governance, board nominations, and human resources for the Wine Club.

  • Audit Committee

    Oversees the integrity of Opimian's financial statements, internal controls over financial reporting, regulatory compliance, the role of the external auditor, and information-technology risk.

  • Governance Committee

    Reviews governance matters and advises the Board on its overall stewardship responsibility for the Opimian Wine Club.

  • Nominations Committee

    Reviews the makeup of the Board in accordance with the Bylaws and Nominations Guidance, identifies potential Board members, and recommends candidates.

  • HR Committee

    Plays an active role in shaping and approving executive compensation and other Human Resource programs, supporting, but not replacing, the role of management.
