Marie H. Duquette, director of the Vermont state treasurer’s office, plans to retire, and the office is searching for a director of finance and investments. "Her retirement depends on how soon we get somebody on board,” said Jeffrey Wilson, deputy treasurer. "The anticipated date is probably in May.”
The director oversees investments of the $1.047 billion Vermont State Teachers’ Retirement System, the $856 million Vermont State Employees’ Retirement System and the $179 million Vermont Municipal Employees’ Retirement System, all defined benefit funds, plus the systems’ defined contribution funds, with respective assets of $102 million, $26 million and $5 million.
The treasurer’s office is conducting a national search; it isn’t using a recruiting firm.
