Skagit County's Trisha Logue earns Professional Finance Officer Award

SKAGIT COUNTY - The Washington Finance Officers Association (WFOA) awarded Skagit County Budget and Finance Director Trisha Logue the Professional Finance Officer Award for the State of Washington for the sixth year in a row.

This is an annual award that requires continuing professional and educational excellence.

Professional Finance Officers apply to WFOA's Professional Finance Officer Recognition program each year and earn points for membership, continuing education, participating in finance groups and organizations, writing professionally published articles, and leading academic activities. Logue receives points for attending the annual WFOA conference, taking classes, and for the number of times she has received this award. Her industry-specific training courses ensure she stays current on accounting topics and software.

"Trisha's done a very good job, and we really appreciate all the knowledge she brings back to help us and the citizens of Skagit County understand and work with our budget process," said Skagit County Commissioner Ron Wesen.
Logue started working for Skagit County in the Public Works Department in 1994 and was promoted to the Budget & Finance Office in 2004.

"Ms. Logue is an asset to Skagit County, is very highly respected by other finance directors, and well-deserving of this award," said Skagit County Commissioner Sharon Dillon.
