Arleen
Alexander Hired as New Governmental Relations Manager
Montgomery, Nov. 4, 2014—State
Revenue Commissioner Julie P. Magee would like to announce the hiring of Arleen
Alexander as the new governmental relations manager for the Alabama Department of
Revenue (ADOR) effective Nov. 3, 2014.
The
Alabama Department of Revenue has recently launched many significant projects
that will require a great deal of integration between the state and all of its
peers in local governmental offices. This collaboration is vital to the
business community and will help promote economic development through the
state.
“Over the past few years, I have been very
proud of the way the department and local governments have collaborated in
order to bring more, streamlined processes that make it easier on businesses in
our state,” said Commissioner Magee. “However, I feel we can do a better job of
ensuring concerns are heard and needs are met. Hiring Ms. Alexander and
charging her with this responsibility is going to help us bring about an even
better level of service for the local governments as well as the business
community,” she added.
Alexander’s
role will be to facilitate conversation between the state and all local revenue,
property tax, probate judges and license commission offices to ensure the
department is providing the best possible service and resources for the local
governments. Some of these projects will include:
·
One Spot- a streamlined process for sales tax
returns and payments
·
www.AtlasAlabama.gov-
a portal to help business owners open, expand or close a business
·
OPPAL- a new online filing system for business
property tax returns and payments
Alexander
received her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Economics from Auburn
University and went on to complete her Masters of Business Administration at
Louisiana State University. Alexander has a strong background in government
affairs, communications, fundraising and association member services. She is a certified
association executive (CAE), and with more than 23 years of experience she will
be a positive asset to the department.
