The Compliance Team

Compliance Partners and the Compliance Network

The compliance network at TWU is composed of several compliance partners who are all subject-matter experts in their respective areas. These personnel, combined with the Office of Compliance, are responsible for ensuring that compliance happens at TWU.

A hub-and-spoke analogy might be helpful in understanding how this works. It is well-known that the hub of a wheel is central to the operation of the entire wheel. In the same way, the Office of Compliance is central to compliance operations at TWU. The goal is to have all significant compliance information flow to the hub. In addition, the hub plays a significant role in supporting the spokes. It provides strength and coordination.

But the spokes are vital, too. One weak spoke can negatively impact all or part of the wheel and can reduce its effectiveness. Thus, when both the hub and spokes are strong, so is the entire compliance network.

Current TWU Compliance Partners (Subject-Matter Experts)

Below is a list of current compliance areas at TWU and the associated compliance partner, or subject-matter expert. These personnel have significant compliance expertise in each of these areas.

This list is organized by vice president. Please feel free to contact any of these compliance leaders with compliance-related questions or concerns related to their area of expertise.

Note: An asterisk (*) designates partners who are members of the Operational Compliance Committee, which currently meets quarterly.
