Teachers' Retirement Board
The Teachers’ Retirement Board sets policies, makes rules for and administers CalSTRS. The board is also responsible for ensuring benefits are paid by the system in accordance with law.
The 12-member Teachers’ Retirement Board is made up of:
- Three member-elected positions representing current educators
- Five members appointed by the Governor of California and confirmed by the California Senate
- A retired CalSTRS member
- Three public representatives
- A school board representative
- Four ex-officio members:
- Director of Finance
- State Controller
- State Superintendent of Public Instruction
- State Treasurer
In February 2002, the board appointed Jack Ehnes as Chief Executive Officer of CalSTRS to administer the system consistent with the board’s policies and rules. The board also selects a Chief Investment Officer, currently Christopher J. Ailman, to direct the investments of the Teachers’ Retirement Fund in accordance with board policy.

“Adultery itself in its principle is many times nothing but a curious inquisition after, and envy of another man’s enclosed pleasures: and there have been many who refused fairer objects that they might ravish an enclosed woman from her retirement and single possessor.”
—Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)
“Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
