Meet our Trustees
ERFC-Direct ERFC 2001 Tier 2 Plan ERFC 2001 Tier 1 Plan ERFC Legacy Plan ERFC Financials

The ERFC is administered by a Board of Trustees, which holds all of the contributions in trust, and supervises the investment of the trust's assets by registered investment advisors. The Board is composed of seven members: three are appointed by the School Board, and three are elected by active ERFC members. The six combined Board members recommend someone who is not affiliated with FCPS for the seventh position, which is subsequently approved by the School Board.
