Nine physicians. One fiduciary duty.
KOF is governed by nine practicing osteopathic physicians who carry full fiduciary responsibility for scholarship awards, program funding, and financial stewardship.
The Board meets alongside KAOM's CME meetings throughout the year — keeping trustees connected to issues practicing physicians are actually facing.
Approving scholarship awards, reviewing program funding, overseeing investments, and reporting transparently to donors and the public.
