About this Speaker
Treasurer Sarah Godlewski leads chairs the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, a $1.2 billion trust fund that invests in communities across Wisconsin. . Early on, her leadership led to the removal of a gag-rule preventing the state from considering the risk of climate change when making investments. Since then she has fought to ensure that smart investments are made to benefit our communities and our state’s economy. When COVID hit, Sarah led the fund in making an additional $5.25 million disbursement to school districts to support virtual learning efforts. The Treasurer started her financial career supporting micro-lending initiatives in rural India where she saw firsthand how access to capital can positively transform entire communities.
