REGULAR MEETING – GENERAL EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Monday March 30, 2020 at 3:00PM
“With Executive Order 2020-4, Governor Whitmer declared a statewide state of emergency
due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This is a new strain of coronavirus
that had not been previously identified in humans, can easily spread from person to
person, and can result in serious illness or death. To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and
to provide essential protections to vulnerable Michiganders and this state’s health care
system and other critical infrastructure, it is crucial that all Michiganders take steps to limit
in-person contact, particularly in the context of large groups. Therefore, this meeting will be
conducted via conference call.”
