A board of ten trustees administers the Arlington County Employees’ Retirement System as follows:
The three elected substitute trustees serve in the absence of their respective trustees. All trustees serve without compensation for a period of four years. Duties of the board include the management and oversight of the investment of system assets to fund retirement, disability, and death benefits for the active and retired members of the system. The board meets monthly, normally on the first Thursday of each month. Board meetings are open to all employees and members of the public.
