Why Fiduciary Education Matters

We know being a trustee isn't easy—especially when:

  • Trustee turnover happens regularly, bringing new faces and fresh perspectives.

  • Complex issues are constantly evolving, making rapid onboarding essential.

  • New trustees face steep learning curves and lots of information all at once, which can be overwhelming.

  • Every public pension system is unique, even though many share common challenges.

  • Customized education programs are crucial to address both system-specific needs and individual trustee goals.

  • System-specific orientations are essential, but trustees also need broader context to make informed decisions.

  • Face-to-face conferences are valuable, but trustees also need flexible, complementary online education.

  • An increasing number of jurisdictions now mandate ongoing trustee education.

  • Sustainable management of defined benefit systems depends on informed trustees and executives navigating future challenges.
