The County Treasurer needs to have a strong financial understanding – particularly as it relates to investments and cash flow. The CTP (certified treasury professional) certification is specifically designed to show proficiency in treasury management. Additionally, every high-level officer in any organization needs a strong understanding of technology. Without an understanding of technology, innovation stagnates, efficiencies are not realized, and security is put at risk. In addition to these qualifications, the position requires someone willing to work hard and have impeccable ethical standards. I have demonstrated these qualifications and standards over my entire adult life.
