Moraine Valley has been recognized by two international organizations for its excellence in financial reporting for the 19th consecutive year.

The report “has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program including demonstrating a constructive ‘spirit of full disclosure’ to clearly communicate its financial story,” the association stated.
