ABOUT PAPERS

The mission of the Pennsylvania Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems (PAPERS) is to encourage and facilitate the education of its membership in all matters related to their duties as fiduciaries overseeing the assets of the pension funds with which they have been entrusted.

The primary purpose of PAPERS is to conduct an annual educational forum that provides the basis for improved financial and operational performance of the public employee retirement systems in the State.

PAPERS will function as a central resource for educational purposes and act as a networking agent for all public plan staff and board members.

Educational Opportunities

The annual PAPERS Forum, held each spring for three days in Harrisburg, brings together up to 250 persons working in PA’s public pension plans. These Forums feature outstanding state and national pension experts speaking in numerous seminars. PAPERS is also developing one day workshops in other PA locations to share similar retirement information. Members automatically receive details about such opportunities.

PAPERS publishes a quarterly newsletter on pertinent pension topics. Many issues feature articles written by nationally recognized investment and pension experts.
