Executive Director’s Letter- Spring 2025

Dear Active Members, Retirees, and Beneficiaries,

Welcome to the Spring edition of Retirement Today!

Since our newsletter last fall, we’ve seen significant shifts in the political and economic landscape. During times of change, it’s natural to have questions about your financial future—but I want to reassure you that ERS remains steadfast in our mission to protect your retirement assets and work toward the best outcomes for all of our members.
If you have any concerns about your retirement plan or want to make sure you’re on track for a secure future, I encourage you to schedule a one-on-one appointment with one of our retirement analysts or attend one of the educational sessions listed in this newsletter. We now offer both in-person and virtual options to meet your needs, and we’re here to help you make the most informed decisions possible.

As we move through tax season, it’s also a great time to review your beneficiary information and ensure your records are up to date. Keeping your information current is an important step in protecting your benefits and planning with peace of mind.

In the fall, we launched our first electronic edition of Retirement Today. If you haven’t yet provided us with your email address, we encourage you to do so. By sharing your email, you’ll receive important updates more quickly and conveniently than by mail alone. If you’d prefer to receive the newsletter electronically instead of by mail, please follow the instructions in this issue to opt out of print delivery.

Thank you for being a valued member of the ERS community. We appreciate your trust and look forward to continuing to support your retirement journey.

Warm regards,
David A. Randall
Executive Director
