ILLINOIS POLICE OFFICERS’ PENSION INVESTMENT FUND NAMES FORMER TRUSTEE AND BOARD CHAIRPERSON SHAWN CURRY MANAGER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS AND COMMUNICATION
We are delighted to announce that Shawn Curry, a former chairperson of the IPOPIF Board of Trustees, has joined the team as the manager of external affairs and communication, a new position. Shawn ably served the IPOPIF as an appointed and then elected participant trustee and was our first chairperson of the Board of Trustees. He chose not to run for re-election in 2023 and recently retired from a long career in law enforcement, most recently as a sergeant with the Peoria Police Department.
Shawn is well known and highly respected throughout the State of Illinois for his support of downstate and suburban law enforcement and is regarded as a subject matter expert in public safety pensions. His experience and knowledge of the consolidation statute and our organization will greatly benefit IPOPIF with our communication and outreach efforts to the 357 Article 3 police pension funds and their members and beneficiaries, the municipalities their officers serve, law enforcement labor organizations, and other important stakeholders.
Among his responsibilities, Shawn will provide responsive, high-quality service to Article 3 participating police pension funds, representatives of stakeholder groups, public officials, and members of the public by providing accurate, complete and up-to-date information. He also will develop, organize and coordinate a comprehensive public information program to provide awareness and understanding of the Illinois Police Officers’ Pension Investment Fund which will include special events for Article 3 participating police pension funds, stakeholders and other interested parties.
Please join us in welcoming Shawn to our team. He may be reached via email at scurry@ipopif.org.
