We’re holding an election this fall for the two Member-at-Large seats on the CalPERS Board of Administration, which consists of 13 members who are elected, appointed, or hold office ex officio for four-year terms. The decisions they make directly impact your retirement and health benefits.
A random drawing event was held on June 5 to determine the order in which candidate names will appear on the ballot. The results are below.
Member-at-Large Position A
- Steve Mermell – City of Pasadena (retired)
- Dominick Bei – City of Santa Monica Fire Department
- David Miller (incumbent) – Department of Toxic Substances Control
Member-at-Large Position B
- Sam Hasan Akkad – Department of Transportation (retired)
- Troy Johnson – Sweetwater Union High School District
- Jose Luis Pacheco (incumbent) – San Jose Evergreen Community College District
What’s Next
CalPERS members will be able to choose a candidate for each of the two Member-at-Large positions when the election period opens on August 29. All eligible active and retired CalPERS members (excluding survivors and beneficiaries) are eligible to vote for these two positions during the voting period that ends September 29.
