Congressman Kelly honors county treasurer Krzysiak
Crawford County Treasurer Christine Krzysiak has been honored as the latest 16th Congressional District Community Champion by Congressman Mike Kelly for her decades of public service to the county.
'Christine embodies what it means to be a dedicated public servant,' said Kelly, whose congressional district includes Crawford County. 'Whether it's her role as Crawford County treasurer, serving in her church, or becoming a mentor to young professionals across the region, she continues to put others first and strengthen our communities.'
The award was presented Saturday during the Crawford County Republican Committee's spring dinner at The Oaks Event Hall and Lounge at Conneaut Lake.
'I was very surprised, very honored and felt very special,' Krzysiak told The Meadville Tribune on Thursday about receiving award. 'I had no inkling. Mike Kelly was the speaker; I was surprised when he called me up.'
Krzysiak, who is serving in her 14th year as county treasurer, will retire at the year when her current term expires.
Krzysiak serves on the executive board of the County Treasurers' Association of Pennsylvania and has done so for the last four years. She was elected as the group's president in 2023. She also has been a member of the Meadville Business and Professional Women since 2011, served as its treasurer for seven years, and currently serves on its audit committee. She also is an altar server at her church.
Previously, Krzysiak served as Venango Township's tax collector from 2005-11. She began working for Crawford County in the Clerk of Courts Office in 1984.
She and her husband, Tim, have three adult children and one grandchild.
The Community Champion award is a citation instituted by Kelly's office in January 2015 to recognize and honor service-minded individuals in Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District for selfless and significant contributions to their surrounding communities.
Each winner is presented with a plaque from Kelly's office, a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol building, and a statement of congratulations that has been entered into the official Congressional Record.
