An advanced training class for public pension system trustees will be conducted on Saturday, April 14 on South Padre Island during the Texas Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems' annual conference. 

The Advanced Trustee Training class provides four hours of Continuing Education that meets the Pension Review Board CE training requirements for trustees that have met the initial seven hours of basic training.

TEXPERS is a statewide, voluntary nonprofit educational association organized in 1989. Its members are trustees, administrators, professional service providers, employee groups and associations engaged or interested in the management of public employee retirement systems. TEXPERS member systems represent nearly 130,000 active and retired participants and approximately $89 billion in assets.

TEXPERS surveyed members last month to determine interest in an Basic Trustee Training class. The survey indicated that we would have very few students if TEXPERS held a class in April prior to the Annual Conference on South Padre Island.

The survey indicated that there would be interest in a class conducted in October in Austin. TEXPERS is working to select a date and venue. As soon as a date is set and registration is open, a notice will be posted to the TEXPERS blog and social media channels as well as emailed to member systems.
