Leadership At HOOPP

Leading us into the future

Our Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the Plan and the HOOPP Fund. As a member of the Board governing the trust, each HOOPP trustee is a fiduciary and, as such, acts solely in the best interests of the Plan members and pensioners.

The constant focus of the Board is on the importance of maintaining a financially secure and dignified retirement for HOOPP members.

Fiduciary responsibility

This serves as a guiding light to align and unite HOOPP, defines all of its organizational objectives and is first and foremost in the minds of HOOPP’s trustees as they oversee the organization’s activities.

This fiduciary responsibility takes precedence over any allegiance a trustee may have to any other party or interest, including the organization that appointed the trustee to the Board.

The Board is responsible for all aspects of the Plan and the multi-billion dollar HOOPP Fund. It:
