Our Board maintains Committees that represent an essential part of our governance structure. Board Committees consist of PSECU Directors with relevant talent, skills, and knowledge who deliberate, perform detailed analyses, and hold robust discussions on key issues. These Committees increase Board efficiency by enabling the Board to accomplish more in Committee meetings rather than deliberating and acting on all matters as a full Board.
Our Committees

The Executive Committee is comprised of the Board Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary/Assistant Treasurer. The primary function of the Executive Committee is to meet and act if the Board is unavailable, review corporate governance processes, obtain agreement with the Board on matters of discipline, and act as a liaison between the Board and PSECU President & CEO on matters of performance and development.
Board Asset Liability Committee (ALCO)
