Iowa Governor's Task Force on Structure and Governance
In late 2000, after months of study, IFS recommended to the Iowa Governor's Task Force on Structure and Governance significant changes to the Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System, including establishing it as an entity distinct from the State's Department of Personnel. In December 2002, Iowa's Governor Vilsack announced the selection of the System's first executive director, replacing the Department of Personnel's Director as the System's chief executive.
