SPTRFA is governed by a 10-member Board of Trustees that serves as a fiduciary to our members and beneficiaries. Nine of the ten board members are elected by the membership for staggered three-year terms. One ex-officio board member is appointed by the St. Paul Public Schools School Board.
Three Trustees are elected each year at the Annual Meeting of the Members.
At the Annual Meeting of the Members on March 13, 2025, Trustees Karen Martinsen, Mike McKay, and Maggi Schiller were re-elected to three year terms. Below is a link to the annual meeting presentation:
