Ohio Revised Code Title XXXIX. Insurance § 3913.09

If the code of regulations of any mutual life insurance corporation so provides, the board of directors or trustees, by a resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board, may designate three or more of its number to constitute an executive committee, which committee shall, to the extent provided in the resolution or in the code of regulations, have and exercise, during the interim between the meetings of the board, all of the authority of the board in the management of the corporation.

The designation of such committee shall not relieve the board, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed by law.
