Member Trustee Mark Perkins from the city of Creve Coeur has announced his resignation from the city, effective July 31. With his resignation, Perkins will also step down from the LAGERS board.
“In the relatively short time I served, I gained an appreciation for the dedication of the board and staff in ensuring that LAGERS retains its status as one of the best funded public retirement plans in the nation,” said Perkins.
Perkins has served as the city administrator for Creve Coeur since 1999. He was appointed to the LAGERS board in June 2024 and elected to another one-year term in October 2024. His seat will remain vacant until the LAGERS Annual Meeting, which will be held Oct. 30-31, 2025, in Springfield, Mo. Perkins is looking forward to continuing to serve his community as the newly appointed CEO for Great Rivers Greenway, a public agency dedicated to building and maintaining recreational greenways for the greater St. Louis metropolitan area.
“We are grateful for Mark’s dedicated service and the many contributions he has made during his time on the board,” Board Chair Joan Leary said. “We congratulate him and wish him well on his next chapter.”
