The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board was established as an independent agency of the US government by the Federal Employees Retirement System Act of 1986.
Five Presidential-appointed members, together with an executive director, all administer the TSP on behalf of the plan’s 5.9 million participants.
Once nominees are confirmed by the Senate, the President designates one to serve as chairman. Board members are appointed to four-year terms, and under statute can continue to serve until replaced. The chairman of the board appoints a 15-member Employee Thrift Advisory Council to provide input from the various employee, service member, and annuitant groups.
The 15-member board is made up of the following:
– Four members representing the four largest non-Postal employee unions
– Two members representing the two largest Postal employee unions, excluding rural letter carrier unions
– One member representing the largest Postal employee union representing rural letter carriers
– Two members representing the two largest groups representing Postal managerial personnel
– One member representing Postal supervisors
– One member representing the interests of women in Federal civil service
– One member representing the largest group of individuals receiving annuities
– One member representing the largest group representing supervisors and managerial personnel, excluding Senior Executive Service
– One member representing the Senior Executive Service
– One member representing the uniformed services
