The Oakland County Retirement and Deferred Compensation Board, commonly referred to as the Retirement Board, is accepting applications for one citizen to serve as trustee. Interested individuals will be applying for a four-year term beginning January 2022. The deadline to apply is 4 p.m. on Thursday, January 13.
Submitted applications will be reviewed by the Retirement Board, which will recommend a candidate to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. Interviews will take place January 18-19. Eligible candidates must be citizens and electors in Oakland County who are not eligible for membership or benefits under the retirement system, and they must not hold any other office or appointment with the county.
The proposed candidate will need to be confirmed by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. The member selected to serve on the Retirement Board will attend monthly committee meetings during regular business hours. Members are responsible for administering the retirement plan adopted by the county to pay pension and retirement benefits to eligible retirees/participants.
