Tennessee Municipal League Executive Director Anthony Haynes has been selected as the municipal employee representative on the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) Board of Trustees

Haynes was selected as the municipal employee representative on the board. The board is responsible for the general administration and proper operation of TCRS within the requirements and provisions of state statute (T.C.A., Title 8, Chapters 34-37). 

“The TCRS program is one of the best managed programs in the entire country,” Haynes said. “You can ask any financial expert, and they will agree. Our leaders have done a great job managing it for growth while also protecting people’s interests and assets. Personally, I appreciate the RetireReady tools and use many of the services provided by the system."

Tennessee State Treasurer David H. Lillard, Jr. serves as chair of the board and welcomed Haynes and other new  board members.  

“Our TCRS Board makes sure our retirement system is running smoothly and operating efficiently,” Lillard said. “Board members represent both current and retired employees and ensure the long-term success of one of the nation’s top-ranked public pension systems.” 

Other members recently appointed to the board include:  

  • Retired McNairy County Schools teacher Patsy Moore (retired teacher representative)
  • Springfield Police Chief Jason Head (public safety representative)
  • Tennessee Highway Patrol Nashville District Wrecker Lt. Wayne Jackson (state employee representative)
  • Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Psychiatric Hospital Nurse Executive Zachary Edmiston (state employee representative) 

The 20-member Board meets quarterly and is subject to the call of the chair for special meetings.
