I would like your help.
Send an email to the Montgomery County Council to support my nomination as the County Council nominee to fill a vacancy on the Montgomery County Board of Investment Trustees (BIT). The BIT oversees the investments for the Montgomery County pension funds and the retiree health trusts.
The email address is [email protected]
This is right down my professional alley. I have spent a career working with collectively bargained and jointly managed benefit funds. I currently report to a Board of Trustees that manages the assets of the Transit Employees' Health & Welfare Fund to provide benefits to the 8,000 active and 4,000 retired members of ATU Local 689. I am leading an effort to create a retiree health trust for Local 689 members that needs to be in place by July 1, 2020.
I have the education, experience and values to represent the interest of the County and the County Council on these boards.
The $5.5 billion should not be invested in ways that undermine the stated goals of the county and the County Council. A portion can be prudently invested to support those goals.
Please feel to contact me if you have questions
