We would like to thank our departing Trustee, Susannah Crabtree. Susannah has served on the Board since the very inception of WISE Trust in 2019, serving two consecutive terms. We are grateful for her expertice and guidance during our transition to a jointly-sponsored pension plan and her tireless efforts to help stand up the organization. 

The WISE Trust Board of Trustees is made up of eight members: four appointed by the WSIB and four appointed by the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU). As always, the Trustees’ focus is to deliver long-term retirement stability and deliver the defined benefit promise to WISE Trust’s 10,000+ members.
