In these jobs, she has worked to improve systems that transcend functional and geographic boundaries. In short, she knows how to eliminate unnecessary spending in big enterprises. On the revenue side, from her experience in the gas and oil industry she knows the drivers of declining gas production, which will help in planning budgets.

She is treasurer of Durango Friends of the Arts, which awarded more than $32,000 in grants last year to performing and visual artists and groups in our community. She is a member of the board of the Community Foundation and an IRS-certified tax preparer.

I know Allison Morrissey, and she is the right leader for the treasurer’s office in these challenging fiscal times.
