FPPTA Winter Trustee School
January 26-29, 2025
Renaissance Orlando SeaWorld
The Winter Trustee School offers the FPPTA’s hallmark CPPT program as well as a wide variety of CEU sessions for those maintaining continuing education credits. Whether working towards your CPPT designation, earning continuing education credits, or just looking to become more knowledgeable about pension issues, here’s your chance to continue your educational journey as a trustee. Join us in Orlando for a two and half day event of lectures and discussions that cover everything from trending topics in the industry, to legislation, economic trends, and the funding, actuarial, legal, and investment issues your board should know about in the coming months and years.
Important Recent Changes:
1. FPPTA Orientation Program
The FPPTA has introduced a full day orientation program on Sunday, January 26th. Trustees entering into the CPPT Program and attending the Basic CPPT track are required to attend this full day orientation program. The mission of the orientation program is to give each new trustee an understanding of the association and familiarize them with some of the FPPTA resources available to them. Over the course of the orientation program, trustees will be provided an overview of the association, insights into our education programs, and provide some context about the role of a trustee and the importance of the work they do on behalf of the pension fund. While trustees enrolling in the CPPT program are required to attend, this full day program is open to all new trustees. There is no additional cost to attend the orientation program, but registration is required.
In addition, the orientation will conclude with a keynote address from Greg Bell, author of Water the Bamboo: Unleashing the Potential of Teams and Individuals. Trustees who have not attended his Water the Bamboo keynote address are encouraged to attend his Sunday keynote address to prepare them for Monday morning’s training seminar where Greg will dig deeper into concepts of team and culture building. We ask that trustees who are not enrolled in the Basic CPPT track and would like to attend the full day orientation or only the Water the Bamboo keynote address register, so we have accurate numbers.
2. Trustee Leadership Council
The Trustee Leadership Council (TLC) begins its level two program. This program is currently closed to new enrollees. The next opportunity to sign up for the TLC program will be when registration opens for the Fall Trustee School in 2025.
The TLC program is a three-level program completed over the course of three FPPTA events. The Fall Trustee School, the Winter Trustee School and a third three-day event separate from trustee schools.
For more information about this new program please visit the Trustee Leadership Page on the FPPTA website.

On-Going Event
Pension Fundamentals for New Trustees
*THIS PROGRAM IS REQUIRED FOR TRUSTEES BEGINNING THE CPPT PROGRAM*
Virtual Event – This is an on-going event that can be taken at any time.
Pension Fundamentals for New Trustees: $150
This new program is intended to be a primer for a new trustee walking into their role on the pension board. This one day virtual program will cover the various roles people play in the pension system, give a run down of how a defined benefit plan works, and familiarize a new trustee with the language, players, and lay of the land they’ll come to know in their new role. In addition to this program, participants will receive access to a digital reference book full of useful information for trustees no matter their experience level. This program does not offer CEU credits. This program is a requirement for any trustee intending to enroll in the CPPT Program — trustees must complete this program before entering into the Basic CPPT course.
