Rosie Schulte, State of Missouri and MoDNR Team Member of the Month – October 2025

Rosie Schulte, a fiscal and admin manager with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Missouri Geological Survey, is the State of Missouri and MoDNR Team Member of the Month for October 2025. She was selected for her service to the department, and her work coordinating the fiscal and accounting-related operations of the Land Reclamation Program.

As part of her usual duties, Schulte shepherds all program-related accounting tasks, including maintenance and replacement of vehicles, computers and software, and the management of multiple federal grants totaling more than $8 million. She is known to lead by example, exhibiting the department’s values of stewardship, integrity, collaboration, innovation and respect.

In addition to her usual job requirements, her willingness to proactively take on additional duties to assist the program has not gone unnoticed. Examples include leading the program through staffing shortages, with suggestions on how to divide tasks until vacancies are filled; finding solutions for long-held and overlooked issues, like the development of a process for the accurate accounting and inventory of reclamation bonds; and not least, her 34 years of service with the Department of Natural Resources.

“Rosie has a can-do attitude and the willingness to go the extra distance no matter how tough it may be. She never shirks a task of any kind and always steps up to help others,” said Guy Frazier, the director of the Land Reclamation Program who nominated Schulte for the award. “Without a doubt, the program is certainly blessed to have her.”

Schulte joined the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in November 1991 and resides in Eugene.
