2009 Conference Registration Packet

ImageOn behalf of the Board of Directors, we invite you to attend the 2009 Educational Conference at the Sheraton Hotel in Indianapolis September 20-23.

 

As public servants we are grounded through education and experience. At this conference you will have opportunity for a lot of classroom instruction but also have time for networking with other members.

 

We encourage each trustee, their staff and board members from member townships to attend this conference. We look forward to seeing each of you in November.

 

Mary Hart, ITA President

Linda Williams, Conference Chair

“On your mark… get set… GO!”

As a caseworker at the Fairfield Township Trustee’s Office, sometimes I imagine that I’m the host of a TV reality show that’s something akin to a scavenger hunt. And when clients leave our office with their lengthy checklist in hand, eyes sometimes gleaming with excited anticipation – sometimes glazed over in shock – I’m tempted to say to them, “and the first one back in 72 hours with everything on their list wins! Are you ready? On your mark… get set… GO!”

ImageObviously, I don’t say this. But when clients come to the Trustee’s office for assistance – usually for help with rent or utilities - sometimes I find myself apologetic, even embarrassed, as I shove form after form under their noses for them to sign or have filled out. I explain, as clearly and as kindly as I can, the reasons we ask for the information that we do. Sometimes I try to lighten the mood with a little well-timed humor. But for our clients, the Trustee’s office is often a last resort. They’re desperate. They’re tired – both emotionally and physically. They’re frustrated and humbled by their present circumstances and embarrassed to ask for help.

 

Often, they have waited until the last possible moment, exhausted all other options, and they need help – now. And now we’re asking nosey questions, prying into their finances – and, to add insult to injury, asking them to produce a mountain of paperwork, preferably before their first appointment.

Global Recession Brings PERF Opportunities and Cost Cutting
While economists look for signs of an end to the global recession, the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund (PERF) has found attractive opportunities despite difficult market conditions. A case in point is a well-timed trip to Hong Kong in September that resulted in a new private equity secondary investment already valued at $7 million more than when purchased. The trip not only illustrates the opportunities available in today’s market, but underscores the power of face-to-face contact in finding and evaluating investment opportunities that directly benefit the PERF investment portfolio.

“We have a cautious approach to investing that includes meeting fund managers face-to-face to gather detailed information regarding how they do business,” said PERF Executive Director Terren Magid. Based on this single trip, we were able to identify an attractive and prudent private equity opportunity available at a significant discount. The result is an $8.8 million investment made in February that is now valued at approximately $16 million.”
