JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick today announced that he has been named Legislative Chair for the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST). As legislative chair, he will serve on the Executive Committee.
“As Treasurer, advocating to our federal delegation for sound fiscal policy, growing programs that help all Missourians save for the future, and expanding access to unclaimed property is a priority,” Treasurer Fitzpatrick said. “I am pleased to take a leadership role in this endeavor and look forward to working with my fellow Treasurers to continue protecting state finances as well as expanding financial opportunity for all.”
“The legislative committee plays an important role in executing NAST’s policy advocacy and I am grateful to Treasurer Fitzpatrick for accepting this role,” Indiana Treasurer of State and NAST President Kelly Mitchell said. “I look forward to collaborating with him on this important work.”
