Recognizing the June 2023 Class of Accredited Fiduciaries
 

By: Lizzy Lees, Director of Communications, NCPERS

NCPERS Accredited Fiduciary (NAF) Program was created nearly a decade ago to help educate public pension trustees and administrators about best practices for plan governance, oversight, and administration. Attendees can earn their Accredited Fiduciary designation, recognized nationally as a prestigious symbol of governance excellence.

The next NAF Program will take place October 21-22 in Las Vegas, immediately preceding NCPERS Financial, Actuarial, Legislative & Legal (FALL) Conference.

In order to earn the Accredited Fiduciary designation, trustees and staff must complete four training modules that cover governance and the board's role; investment and finance; legal, risk management, and communication; and human capital. Upon completion of all four modules, candidates must demonstrate mastery of the content through an exam held in June and December each year.
We would like to recognize the public pension trustees and staff who most recently earned their Accredited Fiduciary designation, demonstrating their commitment to and knowledge of pension plan governance:
