Basic trustee training set for Oct. 20 in Austin

TEXPERS has scheduled Basic Trustee Training for Friday, Oct. 20 in Austin at Dimensional Fund Advisors, 6300 Bee Cave Road.  Registration is open. Click here to login and register. This class meets the Minimum Education and Training requirement of the Pension Review Board for new trustees to take seven hours of training over seven content areas. The class begins at 8 am and ends by 4:30 pm. An Agenda will be available and posted soon. -        BTT immediately follows the Texans for Secure Retirement Symposium on Oct. 19, also at Dimensional Fund. A recently conducted survey shows that we should have sufficient attendance but TEXPERS may need to cancel this class if minimum registration numbers are not met at least two weeks prior to the course, so please don't wait until the last minute. It has not been decided if TEXPERS will conduct a class in April on South Padre on Saturday, April 14 prior to the association's Annual Conference. A survey will be conducted later this year to determine if there is interest. We will conduct an Advanced Trustee Training class in conjunction with the Annual Conference. This class, as well as some sessions at the TEXPERS conferences, can be used to meet the PRB continuing education rule (four hours of training every two years after the initial requirement has been met).
