The PRB provides pensioners and fund managers with news, education, and guidance. The next Texas Pension Review Board meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at the William P.

The panel was moderated by David Fee, the staff actuary for the Texas Pension Review Board (PRB). Getting municipalities to increase their participation was the hot topic of the panel.
