Treasurer Lori Hesse awarded Certified Treasurer Status

Several years ago, the Iowa State County Treasurers Association confirmed a renewed commitment to their constituents by developing the Certified Treasurers Program. A committee of Iowa County Treasurers, with the assistance of personnel from the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach office, developed the program. Iowa County Treasurers who enroll in the education program must complete 30 credit hours, 18 of which must be in the areas of human resources, the Code of Iowa, investments, budgets, leadership and communication skills.
The Iowa State County Treasurers Association held its first graduation ceremony November 29, 2012 in conjunction with the fall Iowa State Association of Counties meeting in Des Moines. A total of 34 treasurers were awarded the Iowa Certified County Treasurer status.
Allamakee County Treasurer Lori Hesse was among those receiving a pin and certificate in recognition of their graduation. The Certified Treasurer Program provides Iowa County Treasurers an opportunity to learn how to more efficiently and professionally administer the duties of their office. Those Treasurers who are now certified must complete continuing education classes to retain their certification.
