PERA Board of Trustees
By state law, the management of the public employees' retirement funds are vested in PERA's Board of Trustees. As a result of legislation enacted in 2006, the State Auditor ex officio position was eliminated effective January 1, 2007. In addition, on July 1, 2007, the number of member-elected Trustees was lowered to 11, by replacing three previously elected Trustees with three Governor-appointed Trustees approved by the Senate. In May 2009, with the signing of SB 09-282, a Denver Public Schools Division member was added as a non-voting ex officio seat. The Board also includes four members from the School Division; three members from the State Division; one member from the Local Government Division; one Judicial Division member; two PERA retirees; and the State Treasurer as an ex officio member. If a Board member resigns, a new member is appointed from the respective division until the next election.
Schedule of upcoming Board Meetings and Agenda for next meeting. (Agenda available on Monday of the week of the Board meeting.)
