Tera K. Klutz was appointed by Gov. Eric Holcomb in January 2017 to serve as the 57th Auditor of State. She is the first certified public accountant (CPA) to hold the statewide, separately elected office and has a membership with the Government Finance Officials Association, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Indiana CPA Society.
As Auditor, Klutz serves as the Chief Financial Officer for the State of Indiana. Her primary duties include accounting for all of the state’s funds, overseeing and disbursing county, city, town, and school tax distributions, and paying the state’s bills and employees. As Auditor, she is also the Administrator for the Indiana Deferred Compensation Plan. Klutz is focused on ensuring the fiscal integrity of the Auditor’s office and that state government is executed at the highest level, which all Hoosiers deserve.
Before her appointment to Auditor of State, she most recently served as the Allen County Auditor in Fort Wayne, Indiana. First elected in 2010 by earning nearly 70 percent of the general election vote, she was re-elected to a second term in 2014. Prior to serving as Allen County Auditor, Klutz served eight years as Allen County’s Chief Deputy Auditor. She also worked as a CPA for a national public accounting firm.
Three of the five students who received this year's RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) honor will join us for lunch to tell us about their experience this summer. Some great benefits of RYLA are building commuinication and problem-solving skills; discovering strategies for becoming a dynamic leader in their school or community; learning from community leaders, inspirational speakers and peer mentors; unlocking potential to turn motivation into action; and, of course, having fun and forming lasting relationships!
A princess, three prime ministers, and a former first lady joined 25,000 in Toronto June 23-27 to celebrate Rotary’s good work and plan more of it. Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, thanked Rotarians for their work in fighting polio and for all the good they do in their communities. She noted Rotary’s “astonishing global reach” and “endearing habit of leaving (their) egos at the door” in overcoming all the obstacles of polio immunization to bring the world to the brink of eradicating the disease.
When polio is finally eradicated, and the world looks back on Rotary’s role in making it happen, one of the people who will stand out in that effort is past district governor Jack Blane. Blane, who died earlier this year, worked tirelessly for Rotary’s campaign to eradicate polio. Past District Governor David Waring pays tribute to Blane in his post for Rotary Voices.
