About TEDS
The Trustee Educational Seminar (TEDS) is intended for new and novice trustees who are seeking a better understanding of their role and responsibilities as a trustee of their pension fund. It also serves as a refresher for experienced trustees interested in staying up-to-date.
By signing up for TEDS, trustees can build and strengthen their foundational knowledge of pensions and governance. This two-day program is designed with a clear focus on the educational needs of trustees who are new to a public pension plan board. The curriculum centers on investing principles, understanding actuarial science, board policies, and fundamental concepts that every trustee should know.
TEDS attendees can earn up to eight (8) hours of continuing education credits. Please note the number of credits you earn is subject to change based on the agenda for the year you attend.
It is recommended that trustees interested in earning their NCPERS Accredited Fiduciary (NAF) accreditation take TEDS first.
