Welcome to the 2016 National Association of State Treasurers (NAST) Legislative Conference!

I am honored to serve as NAST President for 2016 and look forward to working with all of you as we strive to build on the work of NAST’s Immediate Past President and explore new possibilities. With your continued support, attendance at this year’s Legislative Conference as well as June’s Treasury Management Training Symposium in New Orleans and September’s Annual Conference in Seattle we can all look forward to a productive and successful year for NAST.

Your participation this week will not only benefit your organization through access to top tier administration and congressional presentations, but will also benefit NAST and all Americans as we highlight issues of importance to treasurers such as the current tax treatment of municipal bonds, fnancial literacy and 529 College Savings Plans as part of our Hill Day.

I want to thank the entire NAST leadership team for guiding this organization through a truly transformative year. The hard work of John Provenzano, our new Executive Director, and the leadership of the Executive Committee, our committee chairs and the indispensable assistance of our Corporate Affliates established a stronger and better equipped association, both fnancially and administratively.

This year I am fortunate to have the dedicated support of a strong Executive Committee including Treasurer Ken Miller of Oklahoma, NAST’s Senior Vice President; Treasurer Elizabeth Pearce of Vermont, NAST’s Secretary-Treasurer; and Regional Vice Presidents, Treasurers Jeff DeWit of Arizona, Lynn Fitch of Mississippi, Deborah Goldberg of Massachusetts and Kelly Schmidt of North Dakota.
