Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds appointed Martin Noven, former executive director of Maryland's State Retirement and Pension System, as the new CEO of the Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System (IPERS) effective August 24, 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

New leadership at IPERS means you have a fresh window to engage with Iowa's largest public pension system before new policies settle. If you work with public pensions, this change may shift how contracts and partnerships are approached.
