Founded in 1985, the California Association of Public Retirement Systems (CALAPRS) sponsors educational forums for sharing information and exchanging ideas among trustees and staff of California public retirement systems to enhance their ability to administer public pension plan benefits and manage investments consistent with their fiduciary responsibility.
CALAPRS carries out its mission primarily through educational programming including an annual conference called the General Assembly, Round Table meetings for discussion of topics of interest, educational courses for Trustees, the Overview, Intermediate, and Advanced Staff Training, the Administrators’ Institute, and the Management Academy.
System members also gain access to a membership directory, online member community with discussion forums, event handouts and resources, a biennial salary survey, a job board, leadership opportunities, speaking opportunities, and informational newsletters.
