Marilyn Bartlett

Marilyn (Dauber) Bartlett received her first undergraduate degree from University of Nevada Reno in education, but she knew she hadn’t yet found her calling. After enrolling at Eastern Montana College in the early 1980s, Bartlett pursued a new educational endeavor – preparing for the Certified Public Accountant exam. She completed her second degree, this time in accounting, in 1984.

Bartlett served as administrator of the Health Care and Benefits Division of the state Department of Administration from September 2014 to June 2018. For her accomplishments turning the Montana state health plan from a trajectory toward bankruptcy, she appears in an article co-published by National Public Radio and ProPublica, and is one of Fortune Magazine’s World’s 50 Greatest Leaders in 2019. Bartlett is a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Accountant, Certified Global Management Accountant, and Certified Financial Management Professional. She is now the special projects coordinator at the office of the Commissioner of Securities and Insurance in Helena, Montana.
