Treasurer wins 7th consecutive award for county

Colorado County Treasurer Joyce Guthmann wears many hats. One for her role as treasurer, another for being the county’s safety officer and another for also working as their investment officer.

You would think someone with as little time as her would thrive, especially independently. Yet it was Guthmann’s efforts that secured Colorado County it’s 7th consecutive Excellence in Safety Award from the Texas Association of Counties Risk Management.

Despite receiving the award for seven years straight, by no means is the achievement an easy feat. Only 3% of all 254 Texas counties achieve this accomplishment yearly, highlighting just how difficult it is to continuously uphold the same high standards every year.
