CalPERS Announces 2011 Educational Forum



 SACRAMENTO, CA – The California Public Employees’ Retirement System is pleased to announce its annual Educational Forum in Long Beach, October 24 – 26. Workshops, exhibits, leadership training and two dynamic keynote speakers will round out the three-day learning and networking event for public agency employer representatives.

“CalPERS staff looks forward to meeting with employer representatives at exhibits and workshops,” said Anne Stausboll (top right photo), CalPERS Chief Executive Officer. “The Forum offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen our partnership in managing health and pension benefits.”

This year’s offerings include updates on popular topics such as Social Security and payroll reporting, actuarial basics, reportable compensation and membership eligibility. In the exhibit hall, participants can meet one-on-one with an actuary, and visit booths to learn more about CalPERS customer contact center, retirement estimates, supplemental retirement plans, and electronic fund transfers.

 The Leadership Policy Series provides up-to-date information on a variety of topics including public pension reform and health care benefits, and will also offer an opportunity to ask questions of CalPERS Chief Actuary.

Dennis Snow (middle left photo), former Walt Disney Executive, will discuss proven techniques to create customer service excellence in any organization during his keynote address on the first day of the Forum.
