It depends on the firm.
He,
She, and
It would
not be used. His/Her, varying with, Her/His, as well as
Their tend to be used a great deal by some firms.
Other choices include,
said member's, said participant's, etc.
the member's, the participant's, etc.
each member's, each participant's, etc.
All the best,
