Welcome to the

Pennsylvania Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems

 

PAPERS is an organization designed to serve the needs of all public employee retirements systems in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  The primary purpose of PAPERS is to provide an educational forum that leads to improved performance and management of the public employee retirements systems in the State.  The Association will function as a central resource for educational purposes and act as a networking agent for all public plan staff and board members in the State.  PAPERS will provide the State’s public retirement systems with educational conferences, seminars, newsletters, operational handbooks, referral systems and an internet-based website for items of interest, membership information and updates.

As plan trustees, each year brings new challenges as the world of pensions is an ever-changing process with new rules and regulations either passed or in process on the horizon. Accordingly, it is more important than ever that we keep ourselves up to date.  

 

That is the mission of PAPERS Trustee Education!  Our Annual Spring Forum and Fall Workshop, planned by our Education Committee, provide excellent sessions by informed speakers on helping us become better informed Plan Trustees.  And there is our new PA Pension Plan Trustee Certification Plan in conjunction with Penn State that provides further information on being a well-rounded and informed Plan Trustee. Give a look and see how you can become a Certified PA Public Retirement Plan Professional.

 

If you know personnel in other Plans that are not currently members, why not ask them to check out PAPERS and see what we have to offer them as Trustees or forward their names to me or Karen and we will follow up with them.  With your help we will continue to grow and continue our mission of providing excellent Trustee Education.  

 

Mark your calendars for the Spring and Fall conference dates.  I look forward to seeing you at either the Spring or Fall Conference or both.
