                         HONORING DONNA C. NASH

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 17, 2010

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Donna C. Nash. Donna has served as Platte County Collector since 1982 
and will be retiring from office on February 28, 2011.
  Since first being appointed to office by Governor Kit Bond in 1982, 
Donna has been elected as Platte County Collector seven times. During 
her time in this role, she has sought to provide Platte County the 
technology and leadership needed to become a top-tier county in 
Missouri. Her office was the first in Missouri to allow taxpayers to 
pay their taxes via credit card or online and print their receipt 
online. She has also provided leadership as the first female President 
of the Missouri County Collectors Association as well as being involved 
with the Missouri Association of Counties, the National Association of 
Collectors, the Treasurers and Finance Officers, and the National 
Association of Counties. She has generously donated her time to such 
causes as the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Red Cross, 
among many other organizations she has supported through the years. I 
personally would like to thank Donna for her support and insight during 
my time in office and for being the first Platte County official to 
endorse me when I first ran for Congress in 2000.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me, her husband Karlton, 
their two children, and three grandchildren, in commending Donna C. 
Nash for her accomplishments and for her efforts put forth in serving 
Platte County, Missouri.
