Membership allows you to...
Attend NCPERS Conferences
Our member-only conferences are the premier educational and networking events in the public pension space, enabling your team to realize efficient interactions and increase brand visibility with key pension staff and trustees. NCPERS events are your platform for building relationships with plan trustees, administrators, CIOs, and other C-Suite executives searching for business partners to provide solutions in asset management, legal services, consulting, and technology.
Showcase Your Expertise
Service Provider members can speak at NCPERS events to provide quality education for pension leaders and amplify your company’s profile. There is no cost for speaking at our conferences and webinars, and any member can submit an application to speak on an educational topic. Additionally, our in-person conferences provide sponsorship opportunities to support the public pension community and raise your brand awareness. And setting up an exhibit booth will help you build clientele by meeting and greeting pension professionals in a relaxed atmosphere.
Share Your Thought Leadership
Keep your organization top-of-mind by contributing to NCPERS publications and platforms throughout the calendar year. Members can submit their white papers, research releases, and success stories to PERSist, our highly-valued quarterly journal. Your article submissions and industry intelligence will be featured in our weekly NewsClips newsletter seen by thousands of public pension leaders. And you can grow your network by directly engaging with NCPERS members through our social platforms and Member Directory.
