The resolution honors Frank A. Karpinski, a dedicated public servant from Rhode Island, as he retires after a distinguished career spanning nearly three decades in state government. Beginning in 1994 as the Director of Finance for the Employees’ Retirement System of Rhode Island (ERSRI), Frank has served under six General Treasurers and has played a crucial role in modernizing the state's retirement system. His leadership during periods of financial instability and reform has resulted in a more responsibly funded and managed ERSRI, which is now recognized for its transparency and member focus.

The resolution acknowledges Frank's expertise in public pension administration, his active involvement with the National Association of State Retirement Administrators, and his reputation as a knowledgeable and personable public servant. As he retires, the House of Representatives expresses gratitude for his significant contributions to the retirement security of Rhode Island's public servants and wishes him well in his future endeavors. A certified copy of the resolution will be sent to Frank A. Karpinski as a formal recognition of his service.
