Our Governance
The Board
The PIIF Board has up to 7 CEOs appointed from Member Funds who are nominated at the PIIF Annual General Meeting. The Chairperson is also elected amongst the Members, typically for a period of 1-2 years up to the time of the next CEO Forum.
One of the main responsibilities of the Board is to ensure the PIIF is delivering on the needs of the Member Funds. This involves engaging with the Member Funds to develop the strategic plans, implement initiatives, managing the existing programs, and ensuring the financial sustainability of the PIIF. The Board delegates key responsibilities and day to day management of the PIIF to the Secretariat.
The current Chairperson of the Board is Mr. Pauli Prince Suhren, CEO of the Samoa National Provident Fund. The Board Members are Mr. Ian Tarutia, CEO of NASFUND, Mr. Viliame Vodonaivalu, CEO of the Fiji National Provident Fund, Ms. Faitele Mika, CEO of the Kiribati Provident Fund, Mr. Parmod Achary, CEO of the Vanuatu National Provident Fund, Mr. Penielu Teo, CEO of the Tuvalu National Provident Fund, and Mr. Michael Bloomfield, CEO of the Tonga Retirement Benefit Fund.
