Cass County Treasurer Tracey J. Marshall is better equipped to more efficiently handle and administer her office, thanks the Iowa State County Treasurers Association’s  “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, which requires the completion of 30-credit hours of instruction, 18 of which must be in the areas of human resources, the Code of Iowa, investments, budgets, leadership and communication skills.

The Association held its first graduation ceremony Thursday, November 29, 2012, in conjunction with the fall Iowa State Association of Counties meeting in Des Moines.  Thirty-four treasurers were awarded the Iowa Certified County Treasurer status. Marshall was among those who received a pin and certificate in recognition of their graduation.

Those Treasurers who are now certified must complete continuing education classes to retain their certification.  Completion of the program is a testimony to the individual Iowa County Treasurer’s dedication to providing excellence in public service.
