2017 OPERS Board of Trustees Election Retirees will elect one representative to serve on both OPERS and Ohio Deferred Compensation Boards of Trustees this year.

Elections for two seats on the OPERS and Ohio Deferred Compensation Boards of Trustees will be held this year. One of the seats represents retirees and the other represents county employees. A third seat representing miscellaneous employees will not require an election because only one candidate completed the nomination requirements. Those elected will serve four-year terms beginning Jan. 1, 2018.
