Who We Are

Whether you are just starting out as an educational employee or preparing to retire after a rewarding career, you will want to get to know us as you prepare for your future.

NMERB is self-funded, meaning that the agency does not receive a direct General Fund appropriation, but is supported by the investment earnings of the fund. The Board of Trustees and agency staff pride themselves on a strong record of prudent financial management as reflected in our Popular Annual Financial Report and pension leading investment performance. Board members and staff take great pride in maintaining and improving NMERB’s actuarial management, improving the efficiency of its operations while emphasizing professional and courteous customer service.

Our professional staff is dedicated to providing you with the information you need to make sound decisions about your retirement during your career, and to assist you with any issues that arise during your retirement.

NMERB’s main office is located in Santa Fe with satellite offices located in Santa Fe and Albuquerque to accommodate the spacial needs of its employees. For more information on how to reach us, please Contact Us.
