The Retirement Advisor University Governance

Overview
The Retirement Advisor University (TRAU) is governed by a Board of Trustees (BoT) which exists to oversee the educational programs available through TRAU and is responsible for the governance of The Retirement Advisor University and accountable for it’s success.

The Board of Trustees has delegated responsibility for various tasks to two boards:
The Retirement Advisor University Education Committee, which is directly overseen by the BoT oversees the course offerings, educational standards and educational policies of The Retirement Advisor University. The Education Committee acts as an advocate for all learners, and provides a vision of a premiere educational system for adult learners at TRAU.

The C(k)P Standards & Certification Committee, which has been established as an autonomous body with sole authority in regard to all decisions regarding certification. This include certification requirements, certification polices, the certification examination, the case study requirements and the establishment and enforcement of standards for certificants. C(k) Standards & Certification Committee is an independent body of professionals that sets the standards and policies for Retirement Plan Professionals. The C(k) Standards & Certification Committee oversees the standards and delivery of the premiere designation for Retirement Plan Professionals, the Certified 401(k) Professional, the C(k)P.

While each of these boards and bodies has no dedicated staff, the staff of The Retirement Advisor University is responsible for meeting the needs of each board. The direction and needs of each board is communicated to The Retirement Advisor University staff (and other staff resources as may be donated or contracted from time to time) through the Program Coordinator or their assigned agent who is also responsible for maintaining the minutes of each board meeting.
