STATEHOUSE – Indiana State Comptroller Elise Nieshalla gathered local government leaders from around the state for a roundtable discussion geared toward process, training and cybersecurity enhancements. This event is a forum for the Comptroller and representatives from several associations of local officials to further collaborate in their partnership to distribute tax revenues in service to Hoosiers. As a former local official, Comptroller Nieshalla understands the importance of the relationship between state and local government and says having open and ongoing dialogue is key to successful public service.

“By seeking the expertise of local government leaders, we gain valuable insights into their specific challenges and how our office can best be at their service,” said State Comptroller Nieshalla. “I look forward to incorporating the feedback from our meaningful discussions that provides input for meeting our future service delivery goals.”

One of the key responsibilities of the State Comptroller’s Office includes the disbursement of tax revenues to local units of government, along with the accounting and reporting of state funds, paying state employees and vendors, administering the state’s deferred compensation plan, and managing the Indiana Transparency Portal.

Collaborating with local leaders fosters the highly valued relationships between the Comptroller’s Office and local units statewide, in addition to providing information to further empower the office’s commitment of operating in a mode of continuous improvement.

Today’s discussion was focused on automating data inputs, reviewing and approving the settlement process, addressing future training needs, and cybersecurity assistance to mitigate security and fraud risks.

The roundtable attendees:

  • Debra Carnes, Auditor, Hancock County
  • Jennifer Flater, County Treasurer, Clay County
  • Kristinia Hammack, Auditor, Perry County
  • Heather Laffoon, Treasurer, Montgomery County
  • Shelley Mawhorter, County Auditor, Noble County
  • Carrie Mugford, Clerk-Treasurer, Town of North Manchester
  • Anton Neff, County Council, Owen County
  • Susan Sleeper, Auditor, DeKalb County
  • Kellie Streeter, County Commissioner, Knox County
  • Debbie Walker, County Auditor, Henry County
  • Mike Watkins, Auditor, Gibson County

Attendees include the officers of their respective state associations or individuals recommended by their association (Indiana County Auditors, Treasurers, Commissioners, Councils Associations and Accelerate Indiana Municipalities Clerk Treasurers).

UE Athletics hosts 85 area girls for National Girls and Women in Sports Day event

This is the second year for the Purple Aces annual event for local girls
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – To celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day on February 5 the University of Evansville held a free event for Tri-State area girls in 8th grade and under on Saturday, February 1.
For the second year in a row, UE Athletics held a National Girls and Women in Sports Day event sponsored by MDWise. The event was free for local girls in the 8th grade or younger thanks to MDWise support.  At the event, the 85 girls participated in a clinic where they learned different women’s sports offered by the Purple Aces. The clinic was then followed up by a free dinner and watching the UE women’s basketball game against Valparaiso.
“This event was a great opportunity to bring our community on campus and to get to know our student-athletes,” said UE Director of Athletics Dr. Ziggy Siegfried.  “This special day would not have been possible without the support of MDWise. A big thank you to MDWise, the NGWSD Committee, our female student-athletes, all the participants, and their families. We look forward to continuing this event after two successful iterations.”
The clinic from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday was run by Evansville’s women student-athletes from five different programs, Aces Cheer, and the UE athletic training department. The girls began in Meeks Family Fieldhouse with stretches and warmups. They were then split into two groups based on age to rotate between four different sports stations.
In the groups, the girls learned different parts of soccer, softball, volleyball, and golf. Once the sports clinics wrapped up at 4 p.m. everyone gathered in the women’s basketball practice facility for a tailgate. During the tailgate, the participants learned cheers from Aces Spirit and enjoyed a photo booth. The day then ended with the girls watching UE women’s basketball take on Valpo in a close 66-54 loss.
“It was special to have that crowd,” said Evansville women’s basketball forward Maggie Hartwig. “We always love when fans come out and support. But seeing the little girls there reminds you of when you were little. And it’s super special to see that they’re growing up and being able to watch us go out there and compete.”
“It was an awesome environment,” said Head Women’s Basketball Coach Robyn Scherr. “We’re super grateful to our sponsor MDWise for helping us put on this event. I’m so proud to coach here at UE and to be a part of our players’ lives and give them the platform to give back to the girls in our community. Hopefully, some of the girls that came today continue to be inspired and will want to keep picking up a basketball because it’s a great game.”
