With 2025 underway, it's a good time to pause and make sure you and your colleagues are aware of the many valuable programs and resources available to them through NCPERS - and that you are planning to be engaged throughout the year! Every public pension system, service provider, and stakeholder organization should be utilizing NCPERS benefits and participating in our events to stay on top of best practices and connect with peers and partners.

Please see below for details on how to maximize the value of your membership this year. If you have questions about your organization's status or the renewal process, please email membership@ncpers.org for assistance.

Make sure your team is planning to be involved in these key programs and services during 2025:

NCPERS Conferences
Our in-person conferences will keep you educated on trends impacting public pensions and connect you with industry experts and leaders.

The 2025 Annual Conference & Exhibition (ACE) on May 18-21 in Denver, CO will be the premier education and networking event this year for plan staff, trustees, and stakeholders. As one of the longest-running educational programs for state and local public pensions, our flagship event is designed to address the evolving challenges facing the public pension sector, offering an immersive learning experience through a mix of educational sessions, workshops, and panel discussions. Interested in speaking at ACE? Be sure to submit your proposal by Monday, February 3rd.

Then the second-half of the year will include our additional in-person conferences for Chief Officers, pension investment and research staff, HR Professionals, and other segments of our community. Please consider which conferences are most relevant for your work - we look forward to seeing you there!

Pension Trustee/Administrator Training
NCPERS enlists experts from our community to educate pension trustees and administrators on how to be successful in carrying out their duties, no matter their experience level. Over May 17-18th in Denver, CO, we will offer our Trustee Educational Seminar, as well as the NCPERS Accredited Fiduciary Program for those who want certification in plan governance. Please reach out to education@ncpers.org with any questions about NCPERS University.

Peer Roundtables
For members working within retirement systems, we have a peer Roundtable network meeting regularly to share intelligence, discuss developments, and crowd-source solutions to your challenges. Make sure your entire leadership team – CEO, CIO, and directors of Communications, HR, Member Services, Government Affairs – is signed up to attend these valuable virtual discussions with their peers.

Webinars
NCPERS hosts regular webinars, bringing members free educational opportunities on headline issues in the public pension space. Please join us for NCPERS 2025 Public Retirement Systems Study: Key Trends and Insights for Public Pensions on February 25th to review the results of the 2025 Public Retirement Systems Study and gain insights into plan changes, asset allocation, and business practices.
