Kentucky to host tax administrators’ conference in 2011, Revenue commissioner named president of regional association

FRANKFORT, Ky. (July 29, 2010) — Kentucky Department of Revenue (DOR) Commissioner Thomas B. Miller has been named president of the Southeastern Association of Tax Administrators (SEATA).  Kentucky will also host the 61st Annual SEATA Conference in 2011. 

“Commissioner Miller has been an outstanding leader at DOR and I am confident he will represent the Commonwealth well as president of this regional organization,” said Jonathan Miller, secretary of the Finance and Administration Cabinet.  “Hosting the SEATA conference in 2011 will also have a positive economic impact in Kentucky as we welcome visitors from other states in our region.”

SEATA is an organization comprised of 12 southeastern states where members exchange information on taxation and tax-related matters including the various types of tax laws and administrative methods. 

Gov. Steve Beshear appointed Miller to his current post in July 2008.  Commissioner Miller brought to the department more than two decades of experience in the financial and banking industries in both the private and public sectors. 

“SEATA is a valuable organization where the Kentucky Department of Revenue can share our success stories in enforcing state revenue laws and the assessment and collection of state taxes while learning best practices from other states as we continually strive to provide the most accurate and efficient services for the benefit of the Commonwealth and its citizens,” said Commissioner Miller.  “I am honored to have been selected to serve as the president of SEATA for 2011 and to host my colleagues in Kentucky for our annual convention.” 

The 2011 SEATA conference will be held in Louisville at the Galt House Hotel, June 26 – 28, 2011.  Approximately 250 – 300 tax administrators, SEATA Industry Council members and vendor exhibitors are expected to attend.
