We are proud to announce that LACERA’s Division Manager of Disability Retirement Services, Tamara L. Caldwell, has been honored with the SACRS Volunteer Award, a prestigious recognition celebrating individuals who demonstrate outstanding dedication and creativity in advancing the mission of the State Association of County Retirement Systems (SACRS).

The SACRS Volunteer Award shines a spotlight on those who go above and beyond to deliver innovative and impactful content to SACRS programs—especially the Disability Breakout Session. This session is a cornerstone of SACRS education, helping trustees, staff, and members deepen their understanding of disability retirement topics, from eligibility and legal considerations to wellness strategies.

Tamara’s contributions have been exceptional. She has been attending the SACRS conferences since 2013, actively participating by delivering presentations and volunteering to contribute valuable content. JJ Popowich, Assistant Executive Officer for LACERA’s Member Operations Group, shared, “Tamara’s deep expertise in disability retirement at LACERA has always set a high standard, and her ability to shape SACRS discussions with relevant, informative content is no surprise to anyone who has worked with her.”

Please join us in congratulating Tamara on this well-deserved honor. Her passion and dedication continue to make a lasting impact on SACRS and its members, and her example underscores why participating in associations like SACRS is so important. These collaborations encourage knowledge exchange and strengthen retirement systems.
