Cincinnati, OH – On August 15th, the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurer’s (NASACT) conferred its President’s Award to South Carolina State Treasurer Grady L. Patterson, Jr. NASACT President Steve Adams presented the award at the association’s annual meeting in Cincinnati.

The plaque given to Treasurer Patterson states it was given "in recognition of his significant contributions to financial management in government, and outstanding public service as State Treasurer of South Carolina."

Mr. Patterson was not notified of the award until the moment it was presented. He said he was grateful and "a little bit surprised by the recognition.

"I was sitting there while they were saying these flattering things, and then I thought, ‘Hey, that sounds like me.’ It was a humbling experience, and I thanked everyone for their appreciation and support.

"We have done a lot of great things this year for our children with Governor Hodges, Superintendent Tenenbaum and Comptroller General Lander. We were able to work with some outstanding legislators from around the state to get great things done for South Carolina in a responsible manner. NASACT noted our accomplishments, and I happened to be recognized for the work of a lot of good people."
