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.

Happy New Year 2026!

 

It is my hope that everyone and their families had a joyous, healthy holiday season.

 

I want to thank Karen, Doug and Lori for a great job on the November Forum. Also, thanks to Bill Rubin for filling in during my unexpected absence. Thanks to Jennifer Mills and the Education Committee for selecting informative topics; to the presenters for their insights and talents; and a special thank you to our Sponsors, without whose support we couldn't conduct the forums.

 

The Education Committee is already working hard planning session presentations for the May Forum.

 

As the Pension landscape is changing every day in Washington, an educated Pension Plan Trustee is vital to acknowledge any changes effecting their respective Pension Plans.

 

PAPERS primary mission is Trustee Education, something we do very well. There are many plans out there that I believe could benefit from our Trustee Education. All they need is to be asked to give a try. Feel free to contact Karen or me to follow up with any plans you may speak to about PAPERS.

 

Have a great rest of winter and spring and see everyone in Harrisburg in May.
