Plan Governance

The University has established a Pension Board to perform administration duties related to the Plan. The primary responsibility of the Pension Board is to represent the interests of all members and recommend Plan policy and procedure improvements to the University, including the Plan’s asset mix. The day-to-day administrative duties are performed by the staff in the UBC Pension Administration Office who work closely with the Pension Board.
