Draft – Ret Plans
Town Halls
Current, retired, and former CSU faculty and staff recently received communication about a review of their retirement plans.
You are invited to attend a town hall to learn about the review and the future of CSU retirement plans. Please click below to register; registration is required. Please choose the correct category for your employment – information presented in the town halls is specific based on your employee status.
The goal of the exhaustive review is to help employees prepare effectively for retirement, to make it easier to save and invest in retirement plans, to reduce complexity, to lower costs for plan participants and to provide a high level of education to elevate your engagement in retirement plans throughout your career.
CSU modernizes employee retirement plans
In spring 2020, CSU launched a research-based approach to improve retirement preparedness for university employees. Through this endeavor, a committee compared CSU’s retirement plans with best practices and standards through a rigorous process.
Innovest Portfolio Solutions, a national firm specializing in this type of research, worked with a committee on the review. The committee is established through the university’s shared governance model to review and recommend retirement plan improvements to Human Resources. Innovest recently completed similar retirement projects for other higher education institutions in Colorado.
