The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) has recruited Ron Lind to its board of administration.
Lind, who is the president of United Food & Commercial Workers Union (UFCW), was appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly and Senate Rules Committee to serve on the CalPERS board as the public representative. He replaces Lou Moret, who left the CalPERS board in December 2011.
CalPERS board president Rob Feckner said: “His experience and leadership will be valuable as we work with the state, our city, county and school employers to deliver secure pension and health benefits to our members.”
