Kentucky Public Pensions Authority trustees hold Impact Forum; informational presentations only
Summary
KPPA trustees met Oct. 23, 2025, in Lexington for an Impact Forum featuring informational presentations on fiduciary responsibility, budget and compliance, strategic planning, communications, human resources and a Q&A; no votes were taken and no public comments were submitted.
Kentucky Public Pensions Authority trustees convened an Impact Forum on Oct. 23, 2025, at The Campbell House in Lexington where they heard a series of informational presentations but took no formal votes.
Keith Peercy, chair of the KPPA Board of Trustees, called the special‑called meeting to order. Trustees in attendance included William O’Mara; Dr. Patricia Carver; George Cheatham; Dr. Merl Hackbart; Lynn Hampton; Prewitt Lane; and William Summers V. Staff present included John Chilton, KRS chief executive officer, and Ed Owens III, CERS chief executive officer, along with KPPA staff members and outside consultants.
Audra Ferguson of the law firm Ice Miller presented to trustees on fiduciary responsibility; the minutes state the presentation was provided for informational purposes only and do not record any board action. Michael Lamb and Carrie Bass presented on the KPPA budget and compliance, likewise recorded as informational.
Ryan Barrow introduced Joe McDaniel and Stacy Blank from the Office of Finance and Management, who delivered an informational presentation for the trustees. The meeting then recessed for lunch and a networking period.
Barrow also introduced Jimmy Higdon (transcribed later in the minutes as “Tommy” Higdon) and Walker Thomas, chairs of the Public Pension Oversight Board (PPOB); their presentation to the trustees was recorded as informational. Enn Surratt and Ryan Barrow presented on strategic planning and Surratt presented the DETS Spotlight. Amy Fields presented on communications and Lori Casey presented on human resources. Barrow facilitated a question‑and‑answer session with attendees following the presentations.
The minutes record that no public comments were submitted and that copies of all documents presented are incorporated as part of the minutes, except documents provided during a closed session that are exempt under the Open Records Act. With no further business, Chair Peercy adjourned the meeting. The minutes note that the Oct. 23, 2025 minutes were approved on Dec. 4, 2025.
Because the minutes and transcript supplied only summaries of presentations and no substantive motions, votes, or formal directives were recorded, there are no formal actions to report from this Impact Forum.
