Illinois Municipal Treasurers Association Fall 2024 Institute

Sunday, November 17th - Thursday, November 21st, 2024

Treasurers, finance officers, and support staff have a need for continuing professional education to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge necessary to help achieve the prudent person’s rule of financial management. The Illinois Municipal Treasurers Association Institute (IMTI) is an intensive training program that provides instruction for municipal treasurers, finance officers, and support staff.

Institute is divided into three phases (one phase per year). Upon completion of each phase, the participant receives a certificate of attendance. Upon completion of all three phases, the participant is awarded a completion certificate. Completion of the Institute also provides points for IMTA certification and credit toward other financial certifications like the Certified Municipal Finance Administrator (CMFA) as awarded by the Association of Public Treasurers - United States and Canada.

Pension Training: If you would like to receive credit from these sessions toward your 8-hour Pension Trustee Training Certificate, please select the optional fee when registering. Thank you!
