Program for Advanced Trustee Studies

The National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS), partnered with the Labor & Worklife Program at Harvard Law School, through its Pensions and Capital Stewardship Project, to establish the Program for Advanced Trustee Studies (PATS).

PATS was developed with the aim of providing academically grounded and practical instruction and discussion of subjects important to pension fund trustees, including finance, law, and trustee ethics. Participants in the Program will have the opportunity to learn from Harvard University instructors and other nationally and internationally recognized experts on pension issues.

PATS is geared specifically for trustees with at least five years of experience. Interested trustees must apply for admission to the program. In order to maximize opportunities for discussion and debate, the number of participants is limited.

The 2012 Program for Advanced Trustee Studies will be held July 30 -  August 1 at the Harvard Law School in Cambridge, MA. This year's program will focus on 1) Measuring and Accounting for Pension Funds and 2) Investment in Private Equity: Lessons from the Past and for Action Now in a Time of Turmoil and Uncertainty.
