Our guest for episode six of the podcast is former GFOA president Nancy Zielke. Growing up in Southwest Michigan on 60 acres of farmland, Nancy is no stranger to getting up at 5 a.m. and working until the sun goes down. Balancing a career path that is firmly planted with success in both public and private organizations, Nancy acknowledges the many mentors who had a hand in shaping her professional growth as well as her personal drive to understand her community and help influence change for the better.
