TRS Hires New Deputy Director

The TRS announced (May 7) that Caasi Lamb has been hired as the retirement system’s newest deputy director, with a scheduled start date of Monday, July 8, 2024.

Lamb replaces Andrew Roth — who this month left TRS after five years to lead the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association as CEO.

The deputy director at TRS is responsible for overseeing the agency’s daily operations, coordinating strategic planning efforts, and maintaining open communications with TRS trustees. The position also includes representing the agency to TRS members, government officials and the public.

The new role marks a return to TRS for Lamb, who began her tenure at the system in 2014 culminating in the executive
role of chief strategy officer. Most recently, Lamb served as chief strategy & operations officer at Advanced Electronic
Designs in Bozeman, Montana.

Before her time at TRS, Lamb had a successful career working for the Texas Legislature, including in senior budget and
policy advisory roles for the Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, and House Appropriations Committee.
