The House Resolution congratulates Frank J. Karpinski on his retirement after thirty-one years of dedicated service to the State of Rhode Island, particularly in the Office of the General Treasurer and the Employees Retirement System of Rhode Island (ERSRI). Frank began his career in 1994 and has served under six different Rhode Island General Treasurers, playing a crucial role in modernizing the state's retirement system and navigating it through periods of financial instability and reform. His leadership has resulted in a more responsibly funded and managed ERSRI, earning him recognition as an expert in public pension administration.
The resolution highlights Frank's significant contributions to the retirement security of Rhode Island's public servants and acknowledges his exemplary qualities as a public servant. It expresses gratitude for his invaluable presence and expertise, noting that he will be missed in the Treasurer's Office and at Retirement Board meetings. The House of Representatives officially honors Frank Karpinski and directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to him.
