Board of Trustees
The six-member ERS Board of Trustees oversees investment of the retirement trust fund and the administration of state employee and retiree health insurance benefits, a deferred compensation plan, and a flexible benefits program.
Three board members are appointed, one each by the Governor, the Speaker of the House, and the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court, and confirmed by the Texas Senate. Three are elected by ERS members and retirees. Both appointed and elected members serve staggered six-year terms with the terms of appointees expiring on August 31 of each even-numbered year and those of elected members on August 31 of each odd-number year.
