Reaching Across Borders
In January 2023, Kirk welcomed three professors from the University of Warmia and Mazury in Poland. They traveled to the United States on scholarship to study mass appraisal and property tax systems as a model for development in their home country.
Kirk organized meetings and guided discussions with local, state, and national property tax professionals, providing opportunities for meaningful exchange and shared learning.
The visit concluded with a summit at the School of Government, where then-IAAO President Pat Alesandrini joined the group. The experience reflected the value of international collaboration and Kirk’s belief in the importance of connecting professionals across borders to strengthen the field.
As a direct result of this visit, the delegation applied for the Richard Almy Grant and petitioned to become members of IAAO, further extending the Association’s reach and influence internationally.
