Board of Trustees

About the Board of Trustees

Under Minnesota law, governmental units may enter into contracts to provide group employee benefits and financial management services.

The Board of Trustees has authority to execute such contracts on behalf of the Better Health Collective. Three representatives are appointed by the service cooperative (Sourcewell), with the remaining representatives appointed by the current labor management committee.

The Better Health Collective is composed of Minnesota public sector employer members utilizing Sourcewell’s insurance programs.
