The Summerlin Chapter of the Retired Public Employees of Nevada is a membership association that protects the interests of retirees, family members and active workers covered by the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). The Summerlin Chapter of RPEN meets eight times per year for educational business meetings featuring guest speakers on topics of interest to retirees, their family members an
d soon to be retired active public employees. Topics include: updates to PERS, health insurance, public safety, taxes, local services provided to seniors, supplemental insurances available to members, privacy protection, emergency preparedness and other topics requested by members. Perhaps most importantly, this group keeps us informed about pending legislation that could affect our retiree benefits, and employs a paid lobbyist to fight to retain/enhance the benefits - like our pensions - that we worked so many years to earn! The chapter does not meet during the months of December, or summer months June - August. The Chapter is supported through membership dues administered by Nevada's State RPEN organization, based in Carson City, NV.
