Welcome to Texas...

Dear WSATA Registrant:

It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 2003 Western States Association of Tax Administrators' (WSATA) Annual Conference in Austin. The conference is scheduled from Sunday, September 7, through Wednesday, September 10, at the Hyatt Regency Austin Hotel on Town Lake-a first-class but laid-back facility in the heart of the Texas Capitol.

This year, not only will we have some outstanding speakers covering all sorts of tax issues, we will have a professional development seminar each break out session. Invited speakers for all parts of the conference are the best in the business (that includes a number of you) and will hopefully inspire and motivate you!

We look forward to your coming to our city and being a part of our exciting and informative conference.

Please note the cut off date for the hotel registration is Sunday, August 10, 2003. If you have questions, please contact our conference coordinators Linda Rogers at 1-800-531-5441, extension 5-0447 or Janet Spies at extension 3-4612.

See y'all here in Texas!

Sincerely,


BILLY HAMILTON
President, WSATA '03


A big "Thank You" to the FTA for hosting this site.


State Tax Administrators are meeting the ultimate challenge as we enter the 21st Century. We're facing ever-increasing budget crises in most states, taxation issues are growing more complex with increased usage of electronic commerce, and many of our tax bases are eroding as our nation moves headstrong into a service-based economy. Through innovation we must turn these negative factors into positive tools for effective tax administration in the future.
