Welcome to the M-NCPPC Employees' Retirement System!
Welcome Message from the Administrator and the Board of Trustees
 |
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to welcome you to the official website of the Employees’ Retirement System (ERS) of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Our website is intended to educate our members and provide the resources needed to better understand retirement benefits afforded under each Plan. This site is an excellent tool for new members, active members and benefit recipients. From this site, you can access the Plan Document; Summary of Plan Descriptions; Summary of Material Modifications; forms, publications; get to know the Board of Trustees and the ERS Staff; and, get answers to frequently-asked-questions.
We hope you find our website helpful and informative. We welcome your ideas for other information you would like to see on our website.

Recognizing the increasing use of social media, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission ("Commission") Employees' Retirement System ("ERS") is considering launching a Facebook page. Facebook is a popular free online social networking site. As a Registered Facebook user you can connect with friends, share links, create photo and video albums and instant messages.
The ERS is considering how to use this tool to be able to keep you informed with current news and information on our programs, benefits, and events; to share photos and videos of interest to our members; for members to see what other members are thinking about; and, as a way for members to provide feedback to us. While we welcome comments and suggestions, no confidential or member specific information will be accepted and should never be posted on our Facebook page.
As the ERS explores this tool as another way with which to communicate to our members, we would like to see how much interest there is from our members. If you would be interested in joining the ERS on Facebook please send an email to: contactERS@mncppc.org and put “Interested” in the subject line.
