Representing Public

Welcome to RPEN

Dear RPEN Leaders and Officers,

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I am thrilled to announce the appointment of Kabrina Feser as the new Executive Director of the Retired Public Employees of Nevada (RPEN). Kabrina will officially assume her duties on October 5, 2026.

Kabrina comes to RPEN with over 26 years of dedicated public service and executive leadership at the Nevada Public Employees’ Retirement System (NVPERS). Most recently serving as NVPERS Operations Officer, she brings unexcelled institutional knowledge, regulatory expertise, and deep familiarity with Nevada public pension operations and statutory frameworks.

Key Career & Professional Highlights:

  • Executive Leadership: Served as Operations Officer at NVPERS (2020–2026), providing operational oversight, stakeholder liaison, and policy implementation.
  • Legislative Advocacy: Served as a liaison between PERS and the legislature with extensive experience presenting and testifying at legislative hearings, Retirement Board meetings, and PERS Liaison Officer conferences, as well as serving as an expert witness on PERS.
  • Project & Financial Management: Project sponsor for the PERIS Pension Administration System, managing project governance and budget execution.
  • Inter-Agency Collaboration: Strong background working with public employers, union representatives, and coordinating with PEBP on benefit eligibility and death notification processes.
  • Education: Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA) from the University of South Dakota and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Nevada, Reno.

Kabrina’s long-standing dedication to Nevada’s public servants makes her uniquely qualified to lead our organization. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Kabrina as she prepares to step into this key leadership role.

Respectfully,

Ruben R Murillo Jr.
State President

Welcome to RPEN

Welcome to the Retired Public Employees of Nevada (RPEN) website. RPEN is an association that protects the interests of retirees covered by the Public Employees’ Retirement System, (PERS).

RPEN works with PERS, the Public Employees’ Benefits Program (PEBP), the Nevada State Legislature and others to bring PERS retirees a strong, collective voice and ensure that our issues are heard.

RPEN is a strong supporter of our PERS retirement system. Our Executive Committee and Committee Chairs have underscored the importance of preserving this system to ensure that it remains solvent and viable, and that its funds are used for providing retirement benefits.

RPEN is not PERS, but a membership association that advocates for PERS retirees. If you are a current RPEN member and would like to view a copy of our State Bylaws, Policies and Procedures, please click here.
