WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Indiana State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell assumed office as President of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST), the nation’s leading advocate for responsible state treasury programs and related financial practices and policies. Treasurer Mitchell was elected NAST President at the Association’s 2020 Annual Business Meeting.

In her role as Indiana State Treasurer, Treasurer Mitchell serves as the Chair of the Indiana Bond Bank, the Statewide E-911 Board, the Indiana Education Savings Authority, the ABLE Authority, and as the Sole Trustee of the State Police Pension Trust, among a number of other positions. Her deep leadership and fiscal management experience provide her with a strong foundation to implement NAST’s top priorities. 

“I am honored to have been elected NAST President, and am thrilled to begin my term this year,” said Treasurer Kelly Mitchell. “It is a critical time for state fiscal programs and policies, and I look forward to leading my bipartisan colleagues in our efforts to promote and advocate for legislation and programs that will strengthen economic stability and security for all citizens in every one of our states.”
