UPDATE - Statewide Meetings on Arkansas Retirement Systems - Venue Change

The Joint Committee on Public Retirement & Social Security Programs (JRC) statewide meetings have been well attended so far.  Thanks to all the Teacher Retirement System members that were able to attend those meetings.  I am usually at the meeting location about an hour before the meeting starts and stay around after the meeting to maximize opportunities to meet and visit with ATRS members.  I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to visit with members at these meetings.

Most importantly, the November 6th meeting will start at 5 p.m.  This should allow more members to have the opportunity to attend the meeting in person. The location has changed to the Benton Event Center in Benton, Arkansas.  This venue should be large enough for all those interested in attending to hear the presentations.

These are the dates and locations for the remaining Statewide Meetings of the Joint Committee on Public Retirement & Social Security Programs (JRC):
