Corporate Governance

Trustmark's governance structure enables the Board to address key issues effectively and efficiently such as business growth, human capital, enterprise risk management, and technology, among others. This is accomplished through six standing Board committees - Audit, Enterprise Risk, Executive, Finance, Human Resources, and Nominating & Governance - and through the effective use of the Directors' combined wisdom, diverse experience and business knowledge.
