PLSA recruiting leading pension experts to Policy Board

The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) is calling for experts and thought leaders from the pensions sector to apply to become a member of its Policy Board.

Formed in 2018, the PLSA Policy Board guides and decides on the PLSA’s public policy positions, with a remit stretching across all PLSA policy work on pensions and lifetime savings. Its goal is to shape the policy agenda for all aspects of retirement income.

It is chaired by Emma Douglas, Head of DC, Legal & General Investment Management, and encompasses around 15 participants from across the PLSA’s membership, in particular Pension Funds from the DB, DC, LGPS, and Master Trust sectors, as well as Business Members such as Employee Benefits Consultants and Law Firms.

There are up to seven places available, due mainly to members coming to the end of their two-year terms, and some changes in employment.

The deadline for applications is Friday 4 December. To find out the criteria for selection and how to apply, visit the PLSA website.

Emma Douglas, Chair, PLSA Policy Board, said: “The Policy Board is an important and influential body which plays a crucial role in setting the PLSA’s policy agenda, ensuring the PLSA is tackling the issues that matter most to our members and are in savers’ interests.

“We are looking for the sector’s thought leaders and experts. It is vital that we recruit highly skilled people from a range of pension backgrounds to ensure the PLSA fulfils its role as the voice of the pensions industry.

“By harnessing members’ experience and understanding, the PLSA is able to put forward well-argued policies on behalf of our members in pursuit of our mission to help everyone achieve a better income in retirement."
