FRANKFORT, Ky. – (Sept. 17, 2012) – Kentucky Department of Revenue Commissioner Thomas B. Miller was recently elected to serve on the Federation of Tax Administrators (FTA) Board of Directors. Commissioner Miller assumed his one-year term Sept. 1. 
“Tom’s election to the FTA board demonstrates that he is a well-versed leader for the Kentucky Department of Revenue and among his counterparts nationwide,” said Finance and Administration Cabinet Secretary Lori H. Flanery. “Tom’s prior experience in the financial and banking sector gives him a comfortable command of trends, policies, challenges and opportunities associated with ensuring that Kentucky is receiving the tax revenue due to the Commonwealth.  We value his leadership and know he will be an excellent addition to the FTA board.”
Commissioner Miller said the FTA is an organization that allows him to share Kentucky Department of Revenues’ successes in assessment and enforcement.
