Andrew Roth was named the finalist for the position of CEO/executive director of the $57.6 billion Colorado Public Employees' Retirement Association, Denver, according to a Feb. 29 news release.
If Roth's hiring is approved by Colorado PERA's board at its March 15 meeting, he will replace Ron Baker, who was terminated by the board in closed session at its meeting on May 2. The reason for Baker's termination has not been disclosed publicly.
Amy McGarrity, chief investment officer for Colorado PERA, is currently serving as interim executive director.
Roth is currently deputy director of the $187.1 billion Texas Teacher Retirement System, Austin. Rob Maxwell, spokesman for that pension fund, could not be immediately reached for further information.
