The topics have been as many and varied as our membership. These seminars have been provided since our inception. Our gift to you. Mr. Dixon deserves much of the credit in the successful development of this statewide pool. The Illinois Funds interest rate, because of the amounts of pooled funds, are the best available on a daily basis.
Interest is computed and reinvested daily.
The Illinois Funds continues to be administered by Illinois State Treasurer Judy Barr Topinka . This pool has grown to more than three billion dollars in assets and over 1700 members. The division of our state into regions was first discussed in 1979 as a means of cutting travel costs of seminar participants. Because of the large area covered by our State, it was believed that meetings on a regional basis would provide a more convenient service to Illinois treasurers. The Southern region was the first to organize, when it held a seminar and business in Mt. Vernon in 1983.
