#ThrowbackThursday Construction on our Lincoln Pl #ThrowbackThursday

Construction on our Lincoln Plaza North building — which serves as our headquarters here in Sacramento — was completed in 1986, and much has changed nearly 40 years later.

While the campus looks different today, the mission remains the same. Administering retirement and health benefits for our members is what we did then, and what we continue to do now. It's also what we'll do for generations to come.

Just as a reminder, here's #HowItStartedVsHowItsGoing
During this year's #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek, During this year's #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek, CalPERS leadership got a chance to reflect on the meaning of public service — and even demonstrated a bit of it live.
 
As a way to acknowledge the contributions of our many team members, senior executives and leaders got behind a kitchen counter and handed out midday snacks to folks at our Sacramento headquarters.
 
It's a healthy reminder — CalPERS serves those who serve California, even within our own ranks.

More than 30 booths at our Lincoln Plaza headquarters showcased a variety of backgrounds through information, crafts, clothing, and authentic food.
 
As noted by our CEO Marcie Frost, this event allows us to be our true selves in front of one another — while serving as a reminder that we have much in common as we partner in the same mission.
 
Here's to our volunteers and to everyone who came out to make this experience truly special.
