New Mexico Treasurer James B. Lewis elected
President of the National Association of State Treasurers

Mr. Lewis, who's in his second stint as New Mexico's Treasurer, was chosen by fellow state treasurers during the group's annual business meeting earlier this month in Dana Point, California.
 
He will serve a one-year term as president starting on January 1, 2010.  Vermont Treasurer Jeb Spaulding, the current president of the National Association of State Treasurers, praised Mr. Lewis in a statement.  "He is a pillar of integrity and professionalism, and has demonstrated the ability to get things done effectively by bringing out the best in others," Spaulding said.
 
Mr. Lewis, the former Bernalillo County treasurer, served as New Mexico's treasurer from 1986 to 1990, and was again elected to the position in 2006!
