Since 1945, the Orange County Employees Retirement System (OCERS) has served generations of public employees dedicated to making Orange County a better place to live, work, and thrive. Today, OCERS provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to tens of thousands of active, retired, and deferred members while safeguarding their financial future.

To commemorate our rich history and enduring mission, the Communications Department has produced a new video, The Story of OCERS, now available on the OCERS YouTube channel.

Narrated by Director of Communications Mary-Joy Coburn, the video explores the milestones that have shaped OCERS over the past eight decades and highlights the public servants whose dedication has strengthened Orange County communities for generations.

From our founding to our vision for the future, The Story of OCERS reflects the values of service, stewardship, and commitment that continue to guide our agency today.

Whether you are a new employee, longtime staff member, stakeholder, or simply interested in learning more about OCERS, this video offers a meaningful look at the people, purpose, and history behind the organization.
