Every year since 2008 (when the District first applied), the Glen Ellyn Park District has proudly received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting award for its annual comprehensive financial report. This award, issued by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.

Attaining the award signifies significant accomplishments by the District and its management. The reports are judged by an impartial panel to meet the program’s high standards, which include demonstrating a commitment to transparency and clear communication. This ensures the financial story of the District is understandable and accessible to the community.

The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving more than 20,000 government finance professionals, with offices in Chicago, IL, and Washington D.C.

In accordance with The Open Meetings Act (Public Act 097-0609), Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) employers must post the compensation package for each employee exceeding $75,000 per year, as well as the vacation and sick days granted for the year.
