Agency Overview</h2>
Profile of System
The Teachers&rsquo; Retirement System began operations on July 1, 1943. The System is managed by a 15 member Board of Trustees for the purpose of providing retirement allowances and other benefits to public education employees in the common schools, career technology centers, colleges and universities, and other local and state educational agencies of the state of Oklahoma. The mission of the System is &ldquo;We collect, protect, and grow assets to provide a secure retirement income for public education employees.&rdquo; The System also strives to provide outstanding customer service to all our active and retired members. All services provided by the staff are performed to meet these objectives.
The Board of Trustees employs the Executive Director who serves as the chief administrative officer who is responsible for the general administration of the System. The System operates according to an administrative budget approved annually by the Board. Although revenue is not appropriated from the state&rsquo;s General Revenue Fund, the budget is submitted to the Legislature as part of the Governor&rsquo;s recommended budget. The System operates under the same budgetary controls that apply to all state agencies.
Major Initiatives
Communication - Our relationship with our members begins when they first enter the education profession and extends through their retirement. We are continually looking for avenues to serve as a resource and communicate the benefits of our System with our membership throughout their careers. We are also working to serve as a knowledgeable resource for all external stakeholders of our System.
Digital Transformation and Cybersecurity - In recent years, TRS has developed updated processes and continues to improve upon technological advances giving our members better access to their membership information while maintaining security. We recently celebrated the launch on MyTRS, our new and improved Member Portal &ndash; providing members on demand access to their retirement account information and offering self-service options and resources for both active and retired members. We are currently engaged in a multi-year project to modernize our pension administration system which includes improving functionality of our administration, employer, and member portals while also enhancing security of each portal.
Organizational and Operational Strength - In conjunction with the modernization of our pension administration system, we are looking for ways to streamline our operations and increase efficiencies among staff.
