Welcome to the Center for Public Investment Management. I am honored to be a part of this vital training that helps public officials stay abreast of issues critical to protecting public funds. We must work together to rebuild and collectively earn the trust of the citizens of Ohio through education and best practices. Our goal is to be the kind of quality financial professionals the public demands and deserves.

In academic lessons, the answers are what matter. When developing thinking skills, it is the questions that count. Your insights, input, and active participation in the courses add value to the sessions and enhance the learning of your counterparts. Your honest feedback is encouraged and appreciated and will be used to evaluate and improve the training offered.

Fiduciary leadership means looking ahead, anticipating the landscape, identifying skill sets, and developing sound fiscal policy. Please join me in my effort to secure Ohio’s future by promoting financial literacy and accountability not only within this group but in each of your communities as well. I look forward to meeting you during what promises to be a very productive, informative, and meaningful CPIM year.

Respectfully,

Richard Cordray
Treasurer of State
