NASRA is a non-profit association whose members are the directors of the nation's state, territorial, and largest statewide public retirement systems. NASRA members oversee retirement systems that hold more than two-thirds of the more than $2 trillion in state and local government assets and that provide pension and other benefits to most state and local government employees.

 

 
 
The mission of the National Association of State Retirement Administrators is to engage in advocacy, research, and education activities that promote best practices among its member systems and enhance the retirement security of their participants.
