Program for Advanced Trustee Studies   Conference Calendar Information

The National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems has partnered with the Labor & Worklife Program at Harvard Law School, through its Pensions and Capital Stewardship Project, to establish the Program for Advanced Trustee Studies, whcih was developed with the aim of providing academically grounded and practical oriented instruction and discussion of subjects important to pension fund trustees, including finance, law, and trustee ethics. Participants in the Program will have the opportunity to learn from Harvard University and other nationally and internationally recognized experts on pension issues. The Program is structured to enable participants to fully explore and discuss the issues with their colleagues from across the nation. The Program for Advanced Trustee Studies is geared specifically for trustees with at least five years of experience. Participants in the Program must apply for admission, and the number of attendees is limited in order to maximize opportunities for discussion and debate.


The 2008 Program focused on two areas of importance to public funds: Infrastructure Investing and Corporate Governance. Following is an overview of the sessions at the 2008 Program for Advanced Trustee Studies.
