    In April, the thoughts of UWRA members turn to pensions because that is when we hear an annual report on last year’s performance and the future prospects of the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS). 

    Our speakers are the leaders of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB), which manages the investment portfolio of the WRS, and the Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF), which administers retirement, insurance, and other benefit programs for around 650,000 active and retired state employees. This detailed annual report gives us insight into the policies and practices that govern the management of WRS and, importantly, income projections that are helpful in planning our personal finances.

    Edwin Denson joined SWIB in 2018 as managing director, asset and risk allocation. He was appointed executive director/chief investment officer in April 2021. Before joining SWIB, Edwin was managing director, strategic tilting, at Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB). Prior to joining CPPIB in 2013, Edwin spent 13 years in asset allocation, currency, and risk management as a portfolio manager at William Blair & Co., managing member at Singer Partners LLC, and managing director and head of asset allocation at UBS Global Asset Management. Earlier in his career, he was an economist at Lehman Brothers, Primark Decision Economics, and Putnam Investments, and he also briefly managed a commodity trading adviser and a quantitative equity strategy. Edwin holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Cornell University and a PhD in economics from Northwestern University.

    Rochelle Klaskin, Deputy Executive Director and Chief Administrative Officer, joined SWIB in 2015 as its chief legal counsel before becoming deputy executive director/chief administrative officer. Throughout her more than 20-year career, she has led and advised organizations on board governance and legal matters, daily operations, and strategic transitions and planning. Prior to joining SWIB, she was a shareholder in the corporate practice group at the law firm Godfrey & Kahn, S.C., and she served as the managing partner of the firm’s Madison office. She earned her law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law and a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass communication from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

    Todd Mattina, Head Economist, Asset & Risk Allocation CIO, joined SWIB in early 2023 and is responsible for taking a broad view of economic conditions in developing, recommending and implementing SWIB’s asset allocation and other policies for allocating the investments of the fully funded Wisconsin Retirement System. Monitoring capital market conditions and maintaining valuation models, he will support the agency’s investment divisions and determine how best to leverage economic policy to address opportunities, risks and challenges.


    The Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) is the state agency administering retirement, insurance, and other benefit programs for active state and local employees and for retirees participating in the WRS.

    John Voelker, ETF Secretary, will provide projections for future Core and Variable fund annuity adjustments, and highlights of the design elements that keep the WRS strong and fully funded. He was appointed Deputy Secretary of the Dept. of Employee Trust Funds in July 2014. Immediately prior to his appointment the served 11 years as the Wisconsin Director of State Courts. During his 22 years with the court system, he also served as the Assistant to the Chief Justice and as a Senior Policy Analyst. A native of Menasha, Wisconsin, he holds a Bachelor’s degree from UW-Oshkosh.

    This presentation will be recorded.

    Plan today!  Don't Leave Your Heirs Picking up the Pieces

    Planning and making end-of-life choices is hard and not something most of us want to talk about. After all, when we are gone, we no longer need to make any decisions, nor can we care about the “correctness” of those decisions. We’ve fought all of our lives to be responsible, but death allows us to escape any further responsibility.

    But someone needs to make decisions after we’re gone. By some estimates, there are 150 different decisions that need to be made, some economic and some not. It would be thoughtful of us to provide some guidance to those future decision makers regarding our wishes. These wishes might include what will happen with our bodies, what kind of service, what’s in the obituary, who should be notified and how we want to be remembered. 

    Additionally, there is the financial piece connected to the passing of a loved one. How does one prepare for end-of-life costs and how do our assets pass on to our heirs?  What are the pros and cons of a prepaid funeral, a separate end-of-life fund, burial insurance, life insurance, making provisions in a will or trust, or giving money to the individual who is expected to manage your affairs?

    Join us for a discussion with Melissa Theisen, Advanced Planning & Aftercare Specialist, Gunderson Funeral Homes and Attorney Peter Osman, Borakove Osman, LLC addressing the 100+ decisions that accompany the passing of a loved one. 

    Attorney Peter C. Osman, is a partner at and cofounder of BORAKOVE/OSMAN LLC, a boutique estate planning and business planning law firm in Madison, WI. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Law School, and a Wisconsin-licensed attorney. He pursued his undergraduate studies at both the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities and the University of Wisconsin – Madison, receiving his BA with honors. Peter focuses his practice in the areas of estate planning, elder planning, business planning, and estate administration. As part of his practice, Peter has received extensive continuing education in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Settlement, and Elder Law. The attorneys of Borakove/Osman LLC focus their practice on assisting clients at all levels of estate planning and have developed customized strategies to fit client needs at many different service levels and price points. This ensures that each client receives an estate plan that is right for their family, their goals, and their budget.


    Melissa Theisen is an Advanced Planning and Aftercare Specialist with Gunderson Funeral Homes. In this role she assists families make important decisions about their final arrangements in advance. She has had a wide variety of experiences helping people throughout her career as the Director of Development and Communications with the Alzheimer's & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin, Sales and Marketing Specialist with Trails Media Group, and Executive Director for the Mount Horeb Area Chamber of Commerce.  Melissa holds a BA in Commuinication and Media Studies from UW-Whitewater.

    The upper Mississippi river winds through bluffs and bottomland anchoring a wonderland of good time in northwest Illinois’ jo Daviess County. Beyond Galena’s charms, there’s plenty to see and do. Beloved for its preserved downtown district and President Grant history, Galena boasts the sightseeing and entertainment options of a place twice its size. Galena’s historic Main Street has built a reputation with more than 125 art galleries, antiques stores and eclectic boutiques – all housed in beautifully restored 19th century buildings.  https://www.visitgalena.org/


    Ulysses S. Grant Home Tour

    On August 18, 1865, Galena celebrated the return of its Civil War hero General Ulysses S. Grant. Following a jubilant procession, a group of Galena citizens presented the General with a handsomely furnished house on Bouthillier Street. It was opened to the public in 1904.

    Pick your own memories!

    Get a breath of fresh, country air while connecting with friends in the wide-open spaces at Apple Holler. On the 78-acre family farm, it is easy to safely social distance while having bushels of fun. Besides picking peaches, pears, and apples, guests can also stroll the picturesque rolling hills of our orchards and explore a breathtaking forest of 150-year-old oak trees, which is home to wildlife like deer, birds, and much more!

    The magic of Apple Holler actually started thousands of years ago with the sun rising over the Great Lakes and the rich soil created by the mighty glacier. It’s the pristine water from the ancient Inland Sea and the magic and excitement in the air on warm summer days and crisp autumn nights.

    You'll enjoy apple picking, farm tram tour, farmyard animals following a home cooked lunch on the Farm, shopping in the store.  Of course, there will be pies and cider donuts.

    In our way home, we'll stop by a local bakery for a tour and sweet treats!
