Each year, publicly traded companies seek votes from shareholders on items including electing board members, executive pay packages, as well as proposals from shareholders on environmental, social, and governance issues. As a multi-billion-dollar investor in the U.S. and global stock markets, Rhode Island's pension fund holds shares in thousands of companies.

The Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island (ERSRI) is holding an election to fill an open position on the Retirement Board.  All active municipal employees and public safety members of the retirement system as of December 3, 2021, are eligible to run as and/or vote for a candidate.

For over 85 years, ERSRI has helped public employees in Rhode Island prepare for retirement. Our services begin the moment a new hire becomes an ERSRI member and continue throughout the member’s career and retirement. One of ERSRI’s primary goals is to provide timely and accurate information to you—our member—using tools and technologies that make your retirement information easy to understand and convenient to access.
