On January 6, 2020, Gwen Griffith presented at the annual State and Local Tax Conference sponsored by the Oregon Society of Certified Public Accountants. Her presentation focused on the 2019 cases decided by the Oregon Tax Court, in both the Magistrate and Regular Divisions. She reviewed property tax cases, income tax cases, and procedural cases. This was the eighth time Gwen has been invited to speak at this conference. As one conference participant said afterward, “My boss and I come to this conference every year, and Gwen’s session is always one of our favorites. She somehow finds a way to make these cases both instructive and fun!”
