This edition of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report highlights the connections between OPERS and our members throughout their working lives. Governance OPERS is governed by a 13-member Board of Trustees charged with overseeing the activities of the retirement system. Good governance relates to having consistent management, effective policies and appropriate oversight. Having effective governance permits the OPERS staff to provide quality information and services to our members and their employers. Our activities consist of member services and financial administration, legislation and plan design, and investment of plan assets. Participation OPERS partners with our participating employers to ensure new members receive the information necessary to fully understand the benefits of being a member of the plan. New state & local government employees, hazardous duty members, and elected officials receive high-quality written and electronic information from OPERS with a personal touch from the retirement coordinator within each participating employer. Service The central form of participation in any retirement plan is service. In addition to full-time employment, members of OPERS may also purchase certain types of service credit or be rewarded for active military service and unused sick leave to be used toward retirement credit. Contributions A retirement benefit from OPERS is more than merely the sum of member and employer contributions paid into the plan over a member’s career. The investment of those contributions is vital to providing a degree of retirement security for our members. This publication provides detailed information on the investment of plan assets. Life Events The relationship OPERS values with its members can last many decades. Whether it is the birth of a child, the change of career, or the death of a loved one, OPERS is there to assist our members with their retirement plans through both the rewarding and challenging events of their lives. Member Education OPERS takes its responsibility of member education very seriously. Our goal is to help our members better understand how their decisions and circumstances today can impact their overall retirement preparedness. We provide a series of financial planning seminars, written publications and website designed to keep members informed. Retirement Retirement benefits from OPERS are a valuable part of our members’ overall retirement plan. A defined benefit plan like ours provides increased retirement security by offering a lifetime retirement income without the risk of ill-timed market fluctuations. We are proud of the connections we make with our members and honoring their years of public service to the people of Oklahoma.
