The Trustee Leadership Council (TLC) is comprised of experienced trustees who have completed the TLC Program and are now serving in a leadership capacity to inform and assist FPPTA education and resources. These four committees work with the FPPTA staff to develop tools like the FPPTA Bot: Ray, assist in communication efforts, build case studies for the CPPT educational programs, and develop analytic tools for pension boards.
