Cecil D. Ingram, Ada County Treasurer
"I was born in Blackfoot, Idaho. I attended elementary school in Wapello, Idaho, and Junior and Senior High School in Medford, Oregon. I graduated from University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, majoring in Accounting and Production Management.
Joined the Army reserves in 1951-1953
Enlisted U.S. Army 1953-1954
Commissioned 2nd Lieutenant 1954
Ordered to Korea 1954-1956
Fort Campbell, Kentucky 1956-1958
Army Reserves 1958-1968
Honorably Discharged from U.S. Army Reserves with the rank of Captain
On December 28, 1952, Lois 'Ann' Glen and I were married in Medford, Oregon. We have three children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
While in the seventh grade, I had a paper route. In the eighth and ninth grade, I worked as a caddy at the country club and also helped in the country club pro shop. During the next several years, I worked at a local supermarket as a checker, stocked shelves and received freight and later at KOGAP Lumber Sawmill. Attending classes at the University of Oregon, I worked for J.C. Penney Company and Safeway.
After graduating from the University of Oregon, I joined Boise Cascade Corporation in April, 1962, as an accountant in Boise, Idaho. I took early retirement in March, 1991, as Manager Administrative Services for the Transportation and Procurement Unit with 29 years of experience in many different facets of a Fortune 500 corporation, learning the requirements of law, stockholders and lenders.
In January, 1992, I became the Senate Doorkeeper which allowed me to get aquainted with both parties' viewpoints, how the session is conducted as well as the elected legislators. I then decided to run for election as a state senator. I was elected in November, 1992, and served twelve years in the Idaho Senate. I requested to serve on committees and groups involved with matters that impacted Ada County as well as the State. This was a great learning experience. After 12 years, I felt it was time for someone else to take my place and bring forth new ideas and issues.
After the previous Ada County Treasurer, Lynda Fischer, decided to retire, I decided that I would file the necessary papers to run a campaign for Treasurer. Many voters remembered my active involvement in the county and I was elected in November, 2006. I will never be able to thank each of you personally but now I want to thank each of you for your vote of confidence. In taking my Oath of Office, I promised to do my personal best. My staff and I are here to assist all of you and provide the best possible service."
