The members of the board shall be selected by member insurers subject to the approval of the director. Each class of member insurer, as defined in section 376.718, shall be represented on the board. Vacancies on the board shall be filled for the remaining period of the term by a majority vote of the remaining board members, subject to the approval of the director. To select the initial board of directors, and initially organize the association, the director shall give notice to all member insurers of the time and place of the organizational meeting. In determining voting rights at the organizational meeting each member insurer shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy. If the board of directors is not selected within sixty days after notice of the organizational meeting, the director may appoint the initial members.

2. In approving selections or in appointing members to the board, the director shall consider, among other things, whether all member insurers are fairly represented.

3. Members of the board may be reimbursed from the assets of the association for expenses incurred by them as members of the board of directors but members of the board shall not otherwise be compensated by the association for their services.
