Trustee Leadership Council (TLC)

The Trustee Leadership Council Class of 2026 begins their journey with this newly established FPPTA certification program for experienced trustees creating a pipeline of knowledgeable principals ready to take their place in leadership roles for generational change on their pension boards.

The program has three segments: two levels of training/learning (at each of our two annual Trustee Schools), and the third level, a stand-alone event held over a three-day period. TLC training is where theory meets practice. Participants will be grouped into teams and tasked with analyzing Pension Board decisions via selected case studies within the state of Florida.

There is a cap of 25 participants for this program. Participants that meet the participation requirements will be admitted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once the program is full, participants who are not admitted to this year’s program will be placed on a waiting list and will have the ability to participate next year.

This program requires substantial commitment from participants who must be certified and available to attend three scheduled educational events from October 2025 through April 2026.

Commitment & Expectations

This course will be completed over three levels and participants are required to attend each level consecutively. Each participant must attend the upcoming 2025 Fall Trustee School, the 2026 Winter Trustee School, and a third three-day event in April of 2026. Please check with your board’s travel policy to ensure your ability to attend all three events.

There will be homework! Participants are expected to complete select readings throughout the program. In addition, this program involves a team project that will require participants to meet via Zoom between in-person events.

This program will not be for everyone. Please thoughtfully consider if your schedule and desire will allow your effective participation.
