MAA President's Message
September/October Message
Dear MAA Membership,
On behalf of the Education Committee, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended this year’s Annual “Summer” School. Thanks to your participation and engagement, the school was a resounding success! Together, we made it an incredible learning experience for all, one that fostered valuable educational opportunities and networking connections across our community. A huge thanks especially to our Education Coordinator Ashley Larrison for your leadership in organizing this event!
The success of this event wouldn't have been possible without the contributions of every attendee, speaker, and instructor. Your enthusiasm, insight, and willingness to share knowledge created an atmosphere of collaboration that will undoubtedly benefit our profession for years to come. From the in-depth sessions to the discussions in between, it’s clear that the spirit of learning and professional growth remains as strong as ever.
But the learning doesn’t stop here! We’re already looking forward to the next big event: the Michigan Assessors Association Annual Conference this October on Mackinac Island. It promises to be another unmissable opportunity for both professional development and networking. With the beautiful backdrop of Mackinac Island, in addition to the MAA’s Annual Business meeting, we are planning a packed agenda of insightful sessions, hands-on workshops, and opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the state, including the IAAO’s President Donna VanderVries and President-Elect William Healey. We hope to see you there!
Conference registration is OPEN, and Mission Point Resort still has plenty of rooms. The conference is an excellent opportunity to stay updated on the latest developments in the industry, engage with industry experts and exhibitors, and continue expanding your professional network.
Thank you once again for making this year’s Annual School such a success. The energy and commitment you brought to the event were inspiring, and we have great things planned for our next gathering on Mackinac Island. Together, we continue to raise the bar for education and professional development in our field.
See you on the Sunrise Side of Mackinac Island in October!
Best regards,
Elizabeth Tobias
President, Michigan Assessors Association
