Brent Carver is the new City of Pratt Finance Director/Treasurer, taking office May 13 to fill the position held by Diana Garten for 14 years before her death last December following an extended battle with COVID-19.
“Although I never had the opportunity to meet Diana, I can tell by her organization the impact she’s had in managing city finances,” Carver said.” I hope to respectfully carry the torch in honoring her legacy.”
Carver, who most recently worked as an accountant for the City of Boise, ID, was selected from a field of six final candidates. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in business management from Brigham Young University-Idaho and earned his master’s degree in 2019 from Western Governor’s University headquartered in Salt Lake.
