HARRISBURG, PA – The Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System (PSERS) announced Stacy Kriedeman as its new Director of Government Affairs and Stakeholder Engagement to lead the agency’s legislative strategy, cultivate partnerships with public pension organizations and drive effective communications.
As the Director of Government Affairs and Stakeholder Engagement, Kriedeman will foster relationships with the Pennsylvania General Assembly and public education stakeholders across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
“Our Director of Government Affairs and Stakeholder Engagement is critical in fostering a healthy partnership between our agency and all stakeholders as we work to provide services to our members and work with elected officials to ensure the health of our pension system,” said Uri Monson, Executive Director.
Kriedeman, who currently serves as the Director of Marketing Communications, Branding and Design for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, brings more than two decades of experience directing strategic communications and building relationships to make public sector organizations successful.
“Teachers, administrators and school staff play a foundational role in all of our lives – I can still remember every teacher I had from kindergarten through twelfth grade – so ensuring they have a secure retirement isn’t just important work but a privilege,” said Kriedeman. “I’m honored to join the PSERS team and bring my background in journalism, communications and stakeholder engagement to an institution that serves more than half a million dedicated public school employees who gave so much to Pennsylvania students. I look forward to making sure they know PSERS is working on their behalf, and I’m grateful to Executive Director Uri Monson and the Board of Trustees for this opportunity.”
Kriedeman will begin working as PSERS’ Director of Government Affairs and Stakeholder Engagement on Monday, Sept. 28.
