The Pensioner: Looking Forward
Welcome to the digital MPERS newsletter! The Pensioner: Looking Forward contains news, updates, and important information for active employees of the Missouri Department of Transportation, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and MPERS.
What are vital signs? Vital signs are a way to measure the basic functions of the body. If the vital signs are good, that generally indicates a healthy individual. However, if their vital signs are bad, it may indicate some health concerns that need to be addressed.

We’ve taken a similar approach when evaluating MPERS, your retirement system. What are the basic functions of the System? What vital signs can we use to measure System health? What are the System’s vital signs currently?

Join Executive Director, Scott Simon, as he explores the vital sign categories of benefit administration, financial/audit, budget, communication, and investments.

Where: Online via GoToWebinar
When: Wednesday, December 6 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
