Beginning on April 22, 2013, IMRF will present a series of Employer Rate meetings throughout the state. At these meetings we will discuss the impact of year-end financial and actuarial data on IMRF as a whole and its estimated impact on individual employers, as well as potential pension-related legislation that could impact IMRF as well as other forces influencing IMRF.

 

Register online by logging into your Employer Access account, clicking on "Find a Workshop," selecting Employer Rate Meeting, and clicking on "Find."

IMRF to receive ILPEx Award, host workshop

 

IMRF will receive a Silver Award for "Progress toward Excellence" at a March 22 recognition ceremony hosted by Illinois Performance Excellence (ILPEx). This award recognizes IMRF's effective, systematic, and well-deployed approaches that respond to the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. These approaches include an emphasis on our customer service improvements.   

 

On April 2 and 3, IMRF will host a workshop in Oak Brook on how to use and apply the Criteria. The Champions for Baldrige Criteria Workshop, delivered by ILPEx, provides a blueprint for how to improve operations and better serve all stakeholders.
