Greetings!
Welcome to the
Alabama Municipal Revenue Officers Association (AMROA) website. Thank
you for the opportunity to serve as your 2018-2019 President.
Congratulations, to all newly elected officers and board members for the
year 2018-2019. I look forward to working closely with you this year
and know we will work as a great team. We are looking forward to an
exciting, educational as well as challenging year. AMROA, with a fiscal
year that goes from July 1st through June 30th, was organized as a
charitable and educational organization to promote Professionalism and
Proficiency of Municipal Officials through education, training, and
interaction with the exchange of information. As revenue
administration, collection and enforcement move in different directions,
we must equip ourselves to adjust accordingly. We must begin to focus
on various solutions to keep local revenue solvent. Let’s prepare to
get involved, seek knowledge, and understanding to be proactive with
Revenue Solutions for our municipalities. Whether we are small,
mid-size or large; we all face difficulty collecting and enforcing.
We have several
educational and networking opportunities to prepare ourselves beginning
with a Certified Municipal Revenue Officer (CMRO) Program through the
University Of Alabama College Of Continuing Studies. This program is a
two year period of studies that meets in October and April of each year
in Tuscaloosa, AL at the University. Upon completion, you will become a
Certified Municipal Revenue Officer.
AMROA provides a
Summer and Winter Conference that continues our exchange of information
between Municipalities. Our Winter Conference will be held in December
(more details soon) in cooperation with Auburn University Center for
Governmental Services. The Summer conference will be held in July 2019
in cooperation with the University Of Alabama College Of Continuing
Studies. Please take a moment and check our links to get the detailed
information on these and other valuable topics as they are posted.
If you would like to
get more involved with AMROA, consider working on a committee. We are
looking for members on the ByLaws Committee, Membership Committee and
Publicity Committee, just to name a few. If you are not a member of
AMROA, we invite you to become a member, get certified, and utilize the
plethora of knowledge from across the State of Alabama through our
Listserve (email), Conferences and Sponsors. Share your knowledge and
abilities as you draw from other AMROA members. I look forward to
working and sharing with you throughout this year!
Sincerely,
Gwendolyn P Hall
AMROA President
2018-2019
