Idaho State Treasurer Ron Crane has been elected to the executive board of the State Financial Officers Foundation, a group founded on the belief that state financial officers should play a greater role in promoting conservative, fiscally responsible public policy.

Derek Kreifels from the Kansas Treasurer’s Office, the president of SFOF, said Crane’s record of conservative fiscal management made him a perfect fit for the executive team.

In a news release, Crane said "SFOF is the voice of the fiscally conservative financial officers in this country. I have run my office that way during my tenure and pledge through my work with SFOF, the Idaho Legislature, and the Governor’s office to continue with these sound, fiscal policy approaches."
