In a display of readiness and support for a smooth transition, outgoing North Carolina State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell extended warm congratulations to the Treasurer-elect Brad Briner. Following the recent election, Briner is set to become the 29th State Treasurer of North Carolina, a role Folwell has expressed confidence in passing on. In a statement on the official website of the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer, Folwell wished Briner success in his upcoming tenure.
"Our hearts, minds and doors will be open to Treasurer-elect Briner as we move forward with the transition of administrations," Folwell stated in a communication that highlights both the symbolic and practical handover of responsibilities. The current staff, according to Folwell, will aid in Briner's transition, addressing questions and assisting with the intricacies of the move-in process. This support aims to keep the transition "as seamless and problem-free as possible," a sentiment shared in a statement obtained by the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer.
Folwell took the opportunity to highlight the dedication and effectiveness of the state employees, praising them for their service throughout his time in the office. "I have been proud and fortunate to stand on their shoulders," he said, acknowledging the efforts of the personnel within the department. These employees, according to Folwell, are prepared to offer Briner the same level of competence and commitment that has been characteristic of the department's work culture, as reported by the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer.
"They make the Department of State Treasurer a place where service, problem-solving and meeting goals are expected, and great accomplishments are commonplace, keeping us in the check delivery business on behalf of those that teach, protect and serve and taxpayers like them," Folwell stated, encapsulating the essence of the Department of State Treasurer's mission. As Briner prepares to take charge, the support of those he will lead seems to lay a strong foundation for his success.
