The agency is managed by an Executive Team led by President and CEO Krysten Carter Holloway. The Executive Team oversees business strategy and day-to-day operations of the agency, including:
- implementing the Board's mission and vision
- directing Board activities
- leading teams to develop short- and long-range plans
The Directors also elect the senior officers of the Board of Pensions and confirm their salaries.
Board of Directors
The agency is governed by a Board of Directors. Each Director is nominated by the General Assembly Nominating Committee and elected by the General Assembly. Directors are Presbyterians who have been called to serve through the management of the Benefits Plan, including investment of plan funds, management and administration of benefits, and operation of the Assistance Program. They are selected for their expertise in various disciplines and are representative of Church leadership.
No more than 40% of the Directors can be ministers of the Word and Sacrament, who might personally benefit from decisions about the Benefits Plan. The rest are members of the Church.
Each Director is named to at least two of eight committees:
- Assistance and Church Engagement
- Audit and Compliance
- Board Development and Governance
- Executive
- Healthcare
- Investment
- Legal
- Pension
The number of Directors serving can range from 27 to 36. Their terms run four years; they can serve a maximum of eight years in a row.
Any correspondence for the Board of Directors should be sent to
