Your Voice Matters: Listening Sessions

Vladimir Shuliga, IMRF’s new executive director, invites members, retirees, and employers to share their experiences, concerns, and ideas at upcoming virtual listening sessions. Your input will help IMRF identify priorities for improving service.

“The past couple of years have been challenging for IMRF and our members and employers,” said Shuliga. “While we have made progress, we also know there is more to do. As I begin my tenure as executive director, I want to hear from you. Your feedback is important to the work IMRF does and will help guide us as we plan for the future.”

During the sessions, Shuliga will provide a brief update on service improvements, areas where IMRF needs to do better, and goals for the future. Most of the time will be dedicated to hearing from participants about what is working, what remains challenging, and what improvements matter most to them.
