What is the Timothy N. Hagemann Trust?

This trust is designed to help assessing officers from smaller rural jurisdictions become members of IAAO, maintain their membership in IAAO or take an IAAO educational course. The trust committee will give priority to assessing officials who work full time in jurisdictions having fewer than 7,500 parcels of real estate. The committee will take into consideration the jurisdiction's budgetary constraints and the applicant's level of commitment.
The trust also is designed to support improved assessments in rural areas through direct grants for research projects, rewards for publications of technical articles on rural issues and support of the activities of IAAO's Rural And Small Jurisdictions Issues Section.Awards for articles on rural issues are made after review of articles in IAAO publications with the granting of the award based on the appropriateness of the article, the perceived importance of the topic, and the availability of funds.


Who was Timothy N. Hagemann?

Timothy N. Hagemann, of Kansas, was a long time supporter of professionalism of assessors, especially through membership in professional organizations such as the Kansas County Appraisers Association and the IAAO. This trust was established after Tim's death in 1993.
