PSRS/PEERS Board of Trustees

The PSRS/PEERS Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the operations and administration of the Public School and Education Employee Retirement Systems of Missouri. The Board ensures that the Systems are managed with integrity, transparency, and in the best interest of all members and beneficiaries.

Board Composition

The Board is made up of seven trustees:

• 1 elected PEERS member
• 3 elected PSRS members
• 3 trustees appointed by Missouri’s governor

All trustees serve without compensation but are reimbursed for necessary expenses related to their Board service.

How Trustees Are Selected

• Elected Trustees
  Four trustees (one from PEERS and three from PSRS) are elected by the active and retired members of both Systems.
• Elections are held every even-numbered year.
• Two trustees are elected each cycle to serve four-year terms.
• Appointed Trustees
  The Governor of Missouri appoints three trustees.
• At least one must be a retiree of either PSRS or PEERS.
• Appointed trustees must reside in a Missouri school district covered by the Systems, but cannot be employees of those districts, state employees, or elected state officials.

A Commitment to Service

The Board plays a vital role in safeguarding the financial future of Missouri’s public education employees. Through thoughtful governance and fiduciary responsibility, trustees help ensure the long-term sustainability of PSRS/PEERS.
