“Board Smart talks are a great way to break down the various components of what trustees need to know to appropriately govern their plans.  Having access to online materials which you can work through when you have time, provides the necessary flexibility and adaptability during busy times. Completing the assessments at the end of each talk also provides a means of benchmarking where your system is at and what steps it can take to improve overall governance practices.”

- Kevin Olineck, Executive Director of the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System

“Board Smart is a great eLearning tool for public pension trustees. The talks are very well designed and executed in both the content and delivery. The length of each talk is user friendly and easy to fit in my schedule.  I was able to apply the expert information on my trustee work right away.”

~ Yuejiao Liu, Chair of Audit and Risk Committee, City of Austin Employee Retirement System
