LACERA received the Public Pension Coordinating Council’s ( PPCC ) Public Pension Standards 2007 Award, in recognition of meeting professional standards for plan design and administration as set forth in the Public Pension Standards. LACERA is proud to be a five-time recipient of this prestigious award.

The PPCC is a coalition of the following associations that represent public pension funds that cover the vast majority of public employees in the U.S.:

• National Association of State Retirement Administrators (NASRA)
• National Council on Teacher Retirement (NCTR)
• National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS)

The Public Pension Standards are intended to reflect minimum expectations for public retirement systems management and administration, and serve as a benchmark by which all defined benefit public plans should be measured.
