Professional Development & Management Strategies
Assessor’s Office of the Future
The only thing that’s certain in the assessment industry is that technological improvements and organizational changes will continue to change how assessor’s offices work.  This panel discussion will gather a selection of some of the best minds in the business (well, at least some of the most opinionated), and we’ll grapple with a host of issues and challenges about what the future holds.  We may not agree, but it will certainly be entertaining and informative.
