November 1, 2006

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Field Representative Bill Pettry to Manager of Member & Field Services effective November 1, 2006. After that date, Bill will continue to handle some of his current Field Representative responsibilities until his replacement is hired and trained. In the interim, Field Representatives from the other six regions will be available to assist you.

Bill has served IMRF employers and members in the Central Region of Illinois for more than 23 years. He built many friendships and professional relationships with Authorized Agents during this time. Bill will continue to serve the employers and members of IMRF in his new position. He will be responsible for all Field Representative activities throughout Illinois, as well as for our Member Services Unit (1-800-ASK-IMRF).

We started recruiting for a new Field Representative for your area and will notify you when a replacement is hired.

If you need the assistance of an IMRF Field Representative before Bill’s replacement is hired and trained, please contact our Member Services Unit at 1-800-275-4673. Bill or one of our Field Representatives will contact you.
