Public pension trustees and administrators play a vital role in safeguarding retirement assets—and proxy voting is one of the most powerful tools they have to do it. With the 2025 proxy season underway, the National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS) is offering timely guidance to help public pension systems navigate the year’s most critical shareholder votes.
On April 30, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. CT, NCPERS will host a free, members-only webinar titled “2025 Proxy Season: Key Votes for Pensions to Watch.” The event will offer expert insights into the voting issues most relevant to pension fiduciaries and provide best practices for establishing or refining proxy voting guidelines.

- Key proxy votes and governance trends that could impact pension fund investments
