STRS announces resignation of Board member Steve Buser

Aug. 9, 2006

The State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio (STRS Ohio) announced that Stephen A. Buser has resigned his position as a Retirement Board member, effective Aug. 17, 2006, to pursue his consulting interests. Dr. Buser was appointed to the board by Treasurer of State Joseph Deters on Dec. 2, 2004. The treasurer's office is responsible for appointing a successor to Dr. Buser.

Retirement Board Chair Conni Ramser said, "Dr. Buser's expertise in investments and his background in education made him a valuable contributor to board discussions. He will be missed by his fellow board members."

Amended Substitute Senate Bill 133 created three new appointed positions for the State Teachers Retirement Board. One position is appointed by the governor, one by the treasurer of state, and one is a joint appointment by the speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives and the president of the Ohio Senate. These appointees serve four-year terms on the board.
