TEACHERS' PENSION AND ANNUITY FUND (TPAF)
ANNUAL CONVENTION

The 2012 New Jersey State TPAF Convention will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012, at the National Conference Center at the Holiday Inn of East Windsor, 399 Monmouth St, East Windsor, New Jersey, 08520.

The Board of Trustees of the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund (TPAF) holds a convention of delegates for the membership of the Fund each year.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the convention is twofold:

  1. To elect a member-trustee to the Board, and;
  2. To conduct a general discussion of TPAF matters.

TRUSTEE POSITION

The trustee position for Group B will be elected at the October 20, 2012 meeting. Group B consists of Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren Counties.

ELIGIBILITY FOR DELEGATES/ALTERNATES

Retired and active members of the TPAF are permitted to serve as delegates to the Annual TPAF Convention. The principal function of a delegate is to vote in the election of a trustee to the Board of the Fund. Delegates are selected from each county in New Jersey. To be eligible to be a delegate/alternate, you must be an active member or retired member of the TPAF and be working in, or retired from, a school district in that county. Eligibility is based on where you worked, not your place of residence. The method of selection of county delegates will be determined at a specified county meeting. If you are interested in becoming a delegate or an alternate, you should attend the county meeting for the school district from where you work or from where you retired. You do not have to make a reservation; simply attend the county meeting.

COUNTY MEETINGS

County meeting dates for 2012 will become available in February of 2012.

Contact information for each of the 21 counties is provided below. Any questions regarding the county meeting or the election of a delegate/alternate should be directed to the county contact below. The county contact information is only for use by TPAF retirees who are interested in attending the county meeting for the purpose of becoming a delegate or alternate.

Please note that the county contacts CANNOT respond to any questions related to pension and health benefits.
