About the event
As of January 1, 2020, each newly elected and appointed Article 3 and 4 pension trustees must complete a mandatory trustee certification training seminar that consists of at least 16 hours of instruction at a training facility that is accredited and affiliated with a State of Illinois certified college or university within the first year that a trustee is elected or appointed under Section 1-109.3 (a) of the Code. In addition, trustees must complete a minimum of 8 hours of continuing education annually thereafter.
This 16 hour educational program is designed to increase a trustee’s basic knowledge of fiduciary duties, funding and actuarial concepts, medical and disability issues, social security, the administration of pension benefits, and legal and ethical issues.
