LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A leader in education from Apollo Career Center has been awarded Ohio's Treasurer of the Year.
Maria Rellinger, Treasurer and CFO at Apollo, has been bestowed the 2024 Outstanding Treasurer/CFO of the Year Award from the Ohio Association of School Business Officials Foundation for School Business Management at this year's conference and expo in Columbus. On Monday evening, the Apollo Board of Education recognized Rellinger, and Executive Director Katie Johnson of the Ohio Association of School Business Officials traveled to Lima to present Rellinger with an engraved trophy. Rellinger has been the Treasurer/CFO at Apollo for 7 out of her 17-year career, and we talked to Rellinger about the impact this award has on her.
"I've been a treasurer for over 17 years now and always tried to do what's best for kids and protect taxpayer money through working with the school board, administrators, and all of the school staff, so to be selected out of the State of Ohio really is an honor. Even though we are sitting in the business side of a school district, every decision, every idea, every initiative we do... is for the kids," says Maria Rellinger, Treasurer/CFO, Apollo Career Center.
The award also presents a $500 college scholarship to an area high school senior.
