Board of Trustees and Advisory Committee meeting materials
Description:
The Employees Retirement System of Texas (ERS) oversees retirement and health benefits for State of Texas employees to provide for, protect, and enhance the economic well-being of members, retirees, and their beneficiaries through effectively managing benefit programs, using sound actuarial principles and available resources consistent with applicable laws. Minutes of the ERS Board of Trustees, with accompanying exhibits, dating 1947-2022, document the work accomplished at each meeting, including administrative records, fiduciary responsibilities, payment of benefits, and legal issues.
Description:
Administrative records include: certification of trustee election results, appointments of members to committees, proposal and adoption of operating budgets, selection of auditors, selection of advisors for portfolios, action on additions to the approved broker/dealer list, consideration of Requests for Proposals to conduct audits and to provide actuarial and other services, proposal and adoption of rules, discussion of legislation, and the executive director's report.

The records reflecting Board of Trustees' fiduciary responsibilities document approval of investment transactions, consideration of investment advisors' recommendations, reports on auditing activity, and review of health insurance programs.
