Ballots will be out in June.  \nIf you have an address change please make sure the OATC office has your new address.  \nNominating Committee: Susan High, Eric Arnoldus, Bob Betts  \nCandidate for President  \nJo Anne Vetter  \nMy Goals for OATC  \nI think the Pandemic has shown us what technology can do for us. When it is safe to go back to regular meetings, I’d like to continue to offer online, virtual classes. I think this would allow members who want togo to meetings to do so, and allow those that can ’t make it to a meeting to join in from home or office. There are a lot of members who don’t like to drive at night or in bad weather, or have families who need them at home. This would allow them to participate and stay safe at home, while staying members of OATC.  \nI’d also like to look into what OATC costs our members. From the cost to join, renew and take education classes and conventions. We need to compete with other tax organizations, as well as the abundance of, convenient, and often, free or minimal cost on-line educators. We need to take a close look at what we can do to have OATC more affordable for us,  \nWe need to attract and keep newly licensed tax preparers. Their professional growth as involved members of OATC is the future of our organization. We need to identify and adopt activities that make sense for emerging tax preparers and inspire them to lead our OATC chapters going forward.  \nState of Oregon Board of Tax Practitioners  \nI have been serving on the State of Oregon Board of Tax Practitioners for almost six years, and this term Iam Vice-Chair. This is an appointed state position. I was appointed by Governor Kate Brown. The appointment is limited by state statutes to two terms, each term is for three years. My last term ends on 5/31/2021 . It has been a great experience to see our Oregon Tax laws from the inside. It has been a great learning experience, one I could not have had anywhere else.  \nOATC State Experience  \nIn 2016 I was asked to Chair the 2017 State Convention. A very short notice, and in order to make sure I could get it done, I asked for a Co-Chair to help. Many you know my daughter Alison. She is a licensed preparer and has worked for me since I opened my Liberty tax office. Alison is a member of OATC and she and I  \nwere co-chairs ofthe 2017 OATC convention at the Oregon Gardens. A very successful convention. We still get compliments on what a great convention this was; the magician at our Garden Party was most memorable.  \nTax Experience  \nI started doing taxes in 1966 – in California right after I graduated from High School. I worked for “Tax Corporation of America,” and rather than working out of an office, I was sent to clients homes where I did their tax returns at their kitchen tables. No computer, no calculator, just a pencil and tablet to do math on and a pen to fill out the return. Things were a bit different then. I also prepared taxes for H&R Block in California. California did not have any licensing requirements until after I moved out of California to Oregon.  \nJump ahead 30 years….I joined OATC in 2002, after I moved to Oregon and got my Oregon Tax preparers license. I went to work for H&R Block in Corvallis for the next four years. I got my consultants license in 2006 when I opened a Liberty Tax franchise in Albany, where I had anywhere from 4 to 12 employees, depending on the time of year. After 9 years I sold the franchise and opened up Jo Anne Vetter Tax Service, again in Albany, where I have been since 2014.  \nOATC Mid-Willamette Chapter and OSTC Santiam Chapter  \nI was President of our local OATC chapter for two terms, and Treasurer of our local OSTC chapter for two terms.  \nOther Board Appointments  \nI have be","cbCaivHcfZ1YeD0Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivHcfZ1YeD0Q","pdf",273737,"English","# OATC State Offices Nominations\n## Candidate Bios\n## Candidate for President\n## Candidate for 1st Vice President\n## Candidate for 2nd Vice President","[{\"question\":\"What are the ballot timing and instructions included with the nominations?\",\"answer\":\"The document states that the ballots will be out in June and asks readers to read the bios.
