IAAO Board of Directors, Region 1
Assessor
Cleveland County, Oklahoma
Commitment is a strong word; one I take very seriously when it comes to IAAO. Over the years I’ve served on IAAO committees, chaired IAAO committees, and had oversight on multiple Task Forces.
During my two years as Chair of Research and Standards, I attended Board of Directors meetings in person, gaining valuable knowledge while watching and learning how the Board operates and functions.
Currently, I am serving as an elected official in Oklahoma as the Assessor of Cleveland County. Previously, as an instructor at Oklahoma State University I provided training to County Assessors and their deputies. Prior to this I worked in multiple sized jurisdictions, so I recognize the different challenges that we face.
Please look over my accomplishments with IAAO. I respectfully request your support and vote.
