Board of Directors
The Nine Rooks (9R)
The Overwatch Foundation Board of Directors, known as the “Nine Rooks,” is a group of nine business leaders, career public servants, and subject matter experts that comprise the oversight board of the Foundation. In chess, the rook is widely considered one of the most versatile pieces, with equally matched offensive and defensive capabilities. A Director, once elected, may serve a term of years as Director and may be selected as an Officer of the board for a time. But all board members, past and present, are bestowed the title of “Rook” and may use the “9R” shield for the rest of their professional career as a symbol of the impact they made in the service of our state.
