Dear County Treasurers and Staff,

It is my honor to welcome you and to thank you for your dedicated service to the people of Texas. As County Treasurers, you hold one of the most trusted and vital roles in local government. You are the stewards of public funds, the guardians of fiscal integrity, and the voice of accountability that helps ensure taxpayer dollars are managed wisely and transparently.

Your work matters, not only in balancing the books and safeguarding resources, but in building trust between government and the communities we serve. Every action you take strengthens the foundation of public service in your county and our state.

This year, I encourage each of you to embrace our theme "Connecting Deeply and Leading Boldly." 

Connect Deeply with your colleagues, county officials and most importantly, your constituents. By listening, sharing, and collaborating, you bring people together with solutions that make a difference. 

Lead Boldly by stepping forward with courage, integrity and vision. Whether it's adopting best practices, championing transparency, or exploring innovating ways to manage county resources, your leadership shapes the future of Texas communities.

Please know that you are not alone in this work. You are part of a network of treasurers across 244 counties, each committed to excellence and service. Together, we can strengthen one another, share lessons, and elevate the role of treasurers statewide. 

Thank you again for your service to your county and to Texas. I look forward to traveling across our 12 regions connecting with you personally and working alongside you as we continue to Connect Deeply and Lead Boldly.

With Gratitude and Respect, 
Pauline Medrano
President, County Treasurers Association of Texas 2025-2026
