Overall Chair - Property Tax & Past BOG Member

“I have been an active IPT member since 2003, and I obtained the CMI designation in Property Tax in 2005. If I had to point to a pivotal reason for my career success, it would be IPT. Some of my previous roles extended across the SALT tax disciplines (property tax, sales/use tax, credits/incentives, and state income tax), and the ability to network and learn from my IPT peers have been highlights in my career journey.”
