We
Are Here To Help 20
You may remember back in 2011, we appointed 5 of our retired members to join our Pensions Advisory Panel. We now have a vacancy and are therefore looking for retired members who would be interested in joining the panel. The Pensions Advisory Panel is made up of retired and deferred members along with union representatives who meet on a quarterly basis. The role of the panel is to consider all matters relating to the Authority’ s working arrangements and to provide feedback to the full authority and its Boards including:
• Funding of the pension scheme, its investments and actuarial valuation;
• Administration of the pension fund, service delivery, communications and performance, and
• Consultation matters with Government and industry groups.
Provisional meeting dates for the coming year are 11 th June 2013, 1 st October 2013 and 21 st January 2014.
If you are interested in being part of the panel and would be available on the above dates we would like to hear from you. Please email Karen Roberts, Communications Manager, at kroberts @ sypa. org. uk providing the following information:
• Your name and National Insurance number;
• Previous employment history, employer and job title;
• A few lines telling us why you would like to join the panel and what skills you would bring to the group.
Training will be given for the role and travelling allowances paid for attendance.
