ELLIS COUNTY

Ellis County employees Ann Pfeifer and Karla Hecker earned certification from the Kansas County Treasurers Association (KCTA) at their annual award ceremony on June 16, 2016.

Pfeifer received her level II treasurer certificate and the title of Certified Kansas County Finance Officer. Hecker received her level I employee certificate.

Level I certificates are received after 30 hours of education from the KCTA. Level II certificates are received after 54 hours of education from the KCTA. The KCTA certificate is administered by the Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State University. The KCTA holds classes for members, treasurers and treasurer office employees, to understand the office duties set forth in statute and the best practices to run the office.

Hecker, Deputy County Treasurer, has worked for the county for four years. She began on the front line in 2012 and showed a lot of potential. She then took over handling the E-Z Pay program and the delinquent processing, then was promoted to her current position as the Deputy Treasurer. “Hecker works hard to assist the citizens of Ellis County by listening to them and helping them know their options,” said Pfeifer.

Pfeifer, Ellis County Treasurer, has worked for the county for five years and has served as the county treasurer for the past three years. She has successfully implemented multiple state and county computer system upgrades and is redesigning the Treasury website.
