2010 Advisory Committee Election

Candidate Registration Information

The candidates for 2010 must be retired Plan members.

Election time is here again! The Advisory Committee Election will be held this spring, and following is some information about this election.

The Denver Employees Retirement Plan is governed by a Retirement Board appointed by the Mayor. In addition, the Plan has an elected Advisory Committee composed of three members, who represent the membership at monthly Board meetings by asking questions of, and offering suggestions to, the Board. Advisory Committee members must attend Retirement Board meetings, generally half-day sessions held in the Plan's office on the third Friday of each month. The Committee is advisory only and its members do not have a vote regarding the operation of the Plan.

The Advisory Committee Election is held on an annual basis. The three-member committee must be made up of at least one active employee member (a current City or DHHA employee who has five years or more of credited service) and one retired member.

The candidates for 2010 must be retired Plan members.

Both active and retired members may vote for the Advisory Committee nominees. A list of candidates and an election ballot will be sent to each retired and active member in May 2010. The ballots are tallied by the election staff in the City Clerk and Recorder's Office. The elected member will be announced at the annual meeting to be held Friday, June 18, 2010.
