The Treasurer’s Association of Virginia has awarded accreditation to the office of Treasurer of the city of Roanoke for the year commencing July 1, 2010 and ending June 30, 2011. Mayor David Bowers read the award of accreditation at last week’s city council meeting. City Treasurer, Evelyn Powers met all the requirements to be a Master Government Treasurer. To receive accreditation the office must meet high performance standards and have in place a policy that meets all government criteria. Emphasis is placed on exemplary customer service. Councilman Court Rosen highlighted a time when Powers went to a resident’s home to collect cash they were uncomfortable in mailing.
