The 2017 IRSPA state conference will be in
Waterloo/Cedar Falls on October 4 and 5.
Proposed changes in the by-laws will be voted on. One significant proposed change is to allow
“associate memberships” for who are interested in education issues. The proposed changes to the by-laws will be
published in the next two issues of the IRSPA newsletter.

It is vital to keep recruiting new members. The
IRSPA benefits are a good selling point, especially the dental and vision
plans.
·
IPERS is a very stable pension system. Be sure to keep your beneficiary information
up to date. It is important to make sure your beneficiaries are aware of your
IPERS elections. Also make sure that your wills and trust instructions are up
to date. Expect the governor to appoint a special working group to study IPERS
changes for the next legislative session.

IRSPA members volunteered 413,291 hours valued
at $9,737,135.30 between August 2015 and September 2016.
