Details

The Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board (SSTGB), the State and Local Advisory Council (SLAC), Executive Committee and Business Advisory Council (BAC) will meet on October 7 - 9, 2024 at the Springhill Suites in Charlotte, NC.  Member state and non-member state officials, legislators and the business community are invited to attend and provide input.  The Governing Board strongly encourages the attendance of each member state’s appointed Governing Board Delegates (legislative and administrative) to represent their individual states and vote on various changes being considered.  

 

The SSTGB is also pleased to announce that we have coordinated our meeting with the Institute of State Policy Leaders (ISPL), which will be meeting at the same hotel in the afternoon of October 9 and the morning of October 10.  We encourage legislators and others that may be planning to attend the ISPL meetings to also attend the SSTGB meetings and anticipate some joint programming with ISPL on October 9.  It is a great opportunity for state legislators and tax administrators to understand the challenges each of them face.
