Our History
In 1992, the California Public Employers-Employees Trust Fund Group was formed to encourage education and collaborative efforts of the various Jointly Managed Trusts serving public school districts in California. Over the years this coalition has benefited hundreds of school districts and thousands of employees and their dependents. In 2012, the Board of Directors modified the by-laws to allow both public and private sector employers membership in the Coalition.
Today, CPHCC represents over 280,000 lives from our member organizations. And the more we grow, the more our members can save.
CPHCC is managed by Keenan & Associates located in Riverside, California. If you are interested in CPHCC membership please contact CPHCC Manager, Karyn Goodsite at Keenan & Associates:
