Celebrating 80 Years of OCERS
August 6, 2025
This week, OCERS proudly marked 80 years of serving the public servants of Orange County with secure, reliable retirement benefits.
We were honored to receive seven certificates and resolutions, with special thanks to State Senator Tom Umberg, Assemblymember Avelino Valencia, and Clerk Recorder Hugh Nguyen for joining us in person.
Grateful acknowledgment to our Board Members—Chair Packard, Trustee Oates, Trustee Barriga, Trustee Lopez Tagaloa, and Treasurer-Tax Collector Trustee Freidenrich—and to our agency and employer partners from across the County: Board of Supervisors, County CEO’s Office, OCFA, OC Sheriff’s Department, OC Cemetery District, Superior Court, Social Services, Human Resources, John Wayne Airport, REAOC, and OCEA.
To our OCERS staff—thank you for your dedication. And to our members—you are the heart of OCERS and the reason we do what we do.
Event highlights included the OCEA Hot Dog Wagon, member art displays, historical exhibits, and a time capsule to be opened at our 100th anniversary. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate!
