Which principles and priorities should guide the development of future changes to help reduce PERA’s risk profile? That question was posed to 900+ attendees at a dozen statewide community meetings as part of the first phase of our PERAtour earlier this summer. The input from meeting participants and comments submitted on our dedicated website will be used by the PERA Board of Trustees as it considers making recommendations to the Colorado General Assembly in 2018 to improve PERA’s funded status.

If you were unable to attend one of the PERAtour events in person, a full recording of the conversation can be found on the PERA YouTube channel. Additionally, a presentation that was given to the PERA Board on these principles can also be found on YouTube.

The graphic below highlights the principles and priorities shared at the community meetings, as well as feedback gathered from PERA members, retirees, and concerned citizens who participated either in person or online.
