Investment Policy Certificates of Distinction

The Government Treasurers' Organization of Texas conducts an Investment Policy Certification Program designed to provide professional guidance in developing an investment policy and to recognize outstanding examples of written policies.  A Certificate of Distinction is awarded for those policies that meet established criteria.  The Certificate is awarded for two years and then may be renewed upon review.
