Trustees play an important and significant role in addressing the health and retirement needs of plan members and therefore need to be confident and competent in that role. In a continuous effort to fulfill our mission, the International Foundation has transformed the Foundations for Trustees program to offer a more strategic, coherent and integrated assessment-based educational path for trustees.

Validate Your Learning

The International Foundation recognizes that new trustees, in particular, must quickly gain an understanding of the basic principles of trust fund management as well as an awareness of where to find resources in order to make informed decisions. The assessment component offers trustees an opportunity to validate their learning. The introduction offered by FTMS is the first step in a larger strategy to provide a cohesive, integrated educational path for trustees at all levels.

​

FTMS is an excellent starting point in educating yourself as a trustee. The whole program was excellent!
