State Treasurer Frank T. Caprio is headed to Martha's Vineyard. But don't expect him to log much beach time.

Caprio is one of three state treasurers asked to deliver opening remarks at next week's World Pension Forum, a three-day conference which focuses on educating officials connected with public and corporate pension trusts and endowment funds.

He'll join Massachusetts General Treasurer Tim Cahill and Connecticut General Treasurer Denise Nappier in offering welcoming remarks to this year's attendees.
Caprio will also moderate a panel discussion entitled "New Frontiers in IT," according to a release from his office.

"The chance to moderate a discussion on advances made in Internet technology is very exciting," the treasurer said in a statement. "Advances in IT have streamlined government, while also offering a more efficient way of interacting with the public. It has been my priority in the Rhode Island Treasurer's office to modernize the way we do business through new technologies, which in turn saves taxpayers money."

Speaking of money, Caprio's office reports that no state funds will be used on the trip, which runs Sunday through Wednesday.

I hope Caprio gets some pointers on how to prevent unsavory characters from accessing state pension funds.He especially needs these given his daughter's marriage to Richard Baccaire's son.
