Experience That Protects Public Trust
About Monica Leigh White
I have spent more than a decade doing work that requires people to trust my judgment, my discretion, and my ability to get things done. My background spans compliance, governance, human resources, workforce strategy, operations, risk, and executive leadership. I have worked in highly regulated environments where documentation has to be right, confidentiality has to be protected, and accountability cannot be optional.
As Principal of COIL Solutions, I advise organizations on people, process, structure, compliance, policy, operational risk, and performance. My experience also includes public sector and government related work, nonprofit leadership, legislative advocacy, training, process improvement, board service, and executive counsel. I hold the SHRM-SCP credential, along with CMHTR and CLC certifications, and I own an Indiana certified minority and woman owned business.
That work has taught me how to walk into complicated systems, see what others may miss, ask the right questions, protect what matters, and build the structure needed to make an organization work better. I understand what it means to lead people, manage responsibility, handle confidential information, work within regulation, and remain accountable for the outcome.
Boone County is home because I have built a life here, relationships here, and a real investment in what happens next. I enjoy the gatherings, the conversations, the laughter, and the moments that make a community feel like home. I believe public service should have room for joy, connection, and the kind of relationships that make people feel seen.
But I also know leadership is measured in the moments that are not fun. When the issue is complicated, the answer is not obvious, the room is tense, and somebody still has to do the work, that is where my experience matters most. I know how to stay at the table, work through the details, make difficult decisions, and keep moving until the job is done.
I have chosen Boone County, invested in Boone County, and I am deeply committed to the people, places, and future we share here. I can celebrate with my community, laugh with my neighbors, and enjoy the moments that bring us together. When the smiles are few and the work is hard, I will still be there doing what needs to be done.
That is what I bring to this race for Boone County Clerk: experience leading complex operations, respect for the responsibility of public records and elections, strong internal controls, clear public information, disciplined leadership, and a commitment to serving people well.
I am not running simply because I want the title. I am running because I know how to lead the work.
