MONTEREY - The Treasurers' Association of Virginia has announced that Highland County's Treasurer,Lois E. White, has been awarded the title Master Governmental Treasurer under the master designation program administered by the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service and the School of Continuing and Professional Studies. The program was developed to enhance the professionalism of local government officials and their staff and is sanctioned by the Virginia General Assembly.
The program, which takes a minimum of three years to complete, requires a combination of extensive education and governmental experience. The process is an ongoing educational experience which does not end with receipt of the master designation. In order to maintain the master designation, the treasurer must satisfactorily complete a minimum number of hours in continuing education after receipt of the initial designation.
Additional information about the program is available from Albert W. Spengler, director of certification programs, Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, (434) 982-5518 or e-mail aws@virginia.edu.
Editor's note: Highland County treasurer Lois White was incorrectly identified as the deputy treasurer in last week's press release announcing her receipt of master certification.
