CCPF Retirement Board
Trustees are responsible for the prudent management of CCPF’s retirement assets, and for making sure the money is there to pay the benefits earned by every CCPF member and beneficiary, now and for years to come. Ultimately, the Retirement Board carries the responsibility to ensure that CCPF continues to be a well-run, successful pension fund.
The CCPF Retirement Board meets on a monthly basis and periodically as needed. The Board is also divided into Committees to deal with different areas of business.
Board members serve three-year staggered terms, so that no more than three positions are subject to election each year. CCPF has common Trustees and shares office space and administrative services with the Forest Preserve District Fund. Trustees serve without compensation.
Trustee Election
An election is only held if there are two or more candidates running for a trustee position. To read more about trustee elections visit about retirement board elections.
