MAPERS Annual Conference

MAPERS has decided to cancel the 2020 annual conference scheduled for July 15-17 in Osage Beach, MO.  There will be virtual offerings instead, but staff needs time to develop those.  Updates will be posted.

Recent legislation (105.666 RSMo, SB 406) requires trustees of Missouri public employee retirement plans to attend trustee education programs provided at this conference, which is a great incentive for plan attendance.   The two evening receptions will give you the opportunity to network with Board Members and Administrative staff from many Missouri public retirement plans.

• Actuarial principles
• Investments
• Fiduciary duties
