Dear Dear Ms. Paino:
I am pleased to inform you that your assessor, Thomas E. Logan, Jr.,
has been awarded the designation of State Certified Assessor, Professional
by the State Board of Equalization and Assessment. Only 87 assessor
positions, out of 1,809 in the State, have achieved this distinction to
date. In attaining this level of training, your assessor has demonstrated
a high level of commitment to professional development and to better
assessing practices. Such dedication must be commended, especially since
assessors face an ever more complex and demanding workload in an attempt to
achieve and maintain an equitable assessment roll.
To earn the State Certified Assessor, Professional designation your
assessor had to achieve the State Certified Assessor, Advanced designation
by completing successfully more than six full weeks of training courses
presented or approved by the State Soard and be admitted to the Institute
of Assessing Officers of the New York State Assessors' Association.
Admission to the Institute of Assessing Officers required at least five
years of experience in the real property assessment field and passing a
difficult comprehensive examination covering the real property tax law and
appraisal techniques. The State Board is pleased to recognize the
outstanding effort made by your assessor in attaining this elite
professional level. A certificate attesting to this important designation
has been sent to Mr. Logan.
Training is only a first step and loses meaning if the expertise and
ability acquired is not used. In order for your assessor to put to best
use the skills acquired, I hope that you will continue to provide the
support necessary to his constant effort to reach and maintain equity in
assessment administration.
