She negotiated solutions to some of Colorado's toughest environmental problems and led a highly successful educational reform. From 1987 to 1995, Dr. Schoettler served two terms as Colorado State Treasurer and as a trustee of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA), the state's $24 billion pension fund.
