IMRF is governed by an eight-member Board of Trustees:
- Three Employee Trustees elected by active members
- One Annuitant Trustee elected by retired members
- Four Executive Trustees elected by IMRF employers
The IMRF Board has many responsibilities, including authorizing IMRF investments, approving the administrative budget, and setting employer contribution rates. IMRF's Trustees are fiduciaries, required to act solely in the interests of you and your beneficiaries, and to make sure that your benefits are secure.
