Treasurer-elect Stacy Garrity announced the members of her state treasurer transition committee. The list includes elected officials, business and community leaders and many others. Rep. GT Thompson, Christine Toretti, Dr. Bashar W. Hanna and Calvin Tucker will serve as honorary chairs of the transition team. Mike DeVanney will serve as chair and Joel Jukus will serve as executive director.

The goal of the transition committee is to provide guidance as Treasurer-elect Garrity takes over the treasurer’s office and help recruit talented and capable staff from all parts of the state. Garrity has emphasized a commitment to competence, effectiveness and putting taxpayers first in her new role as state treasurer, and believes bringing people together gets the best results.

“I’m honored so many knowledgeable individuals agreed to serve on my transition committee,” Treasurer-elect Stacy Garrity said. “Already, they have provided invaluable advice and support throughout this process.
