National Tax Association Annual Meetings in Philadelphia 

ByStephanie Harden

November 9-11, 2017

This year’s NTA meetings were particularly exciting for a number of reasons:  Jacob Bastian received the co-Dissertation Award, Sara LaLumia received the Best NTJ Paper Award, and Jim Hines received the Holland Medal for Lifetime Achievement.  Can we say that Michigan was in the house?!!!

Jacob is being congratulated by NTA President Victoria Perry.

For the seventh year in a row, OTPR has sponsored 20 or more students to attend the National Tax Association Annual Meeting.  One of the highlights of the meeting is our Annual Alumni Dinner.
