The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) announced that they will be offering a half-day session during their annual conference specifically geared towards local elected officials.  This session provides an opportunity for RCRC members to engage with CalPERS executive leaders and to learn more about pension-related issues. 

This first time “forum-within-the-Forum” will be tailored specifically to elected officials who oversee the local governments, districts, and schools that make up the CalPERS System.  This session will be held in conjunction with the CalPERS annual conference (the Educational Forum) typically geared towards employer management and operational-level staff. 

CalPERS understands that pension costs are a top issue facing local agencies and schools.  This is an opportunity for officials from member-organizations to come and hear directly from CalPERS executive leaders on pension costs, strategies to address the liabilities, and how CalPERS sees the pension landscape going forward.  There will be ample opportunity for questions and access to CalPERS leadership.  

This session will be geared both towards new-comers to the world of pensions, and to well-versed members of the ongoing discussions.  RCRC urges members to share this message and encourage other interested officials to join CalPERS for this special meeting.  Lisa McCargar, RCRC Chief Financial Officer, will also be attending this meeting.  CalPERS can accommodate about 125 people total – first come first served!
