Board of Trustees

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 board members are elected each year at the Annual Meeting of the Members.

At the Annual Meeting of the Members on March 14, 2024 Trustees Lori Borgeson, Mike McCollor, Karen Odegard were re-elected to three year terms.
