APPLETON, Wis. (Sept. 13, 2021) – Each year, one member of an NATP state chapter is selected from hundreds as the Chapter Person of the Year. This person is seen by their peers as an indispensable member who symbolizes volunteerism by putting forth an honorable effort to support members, their chapter and NATP. This year’s award is presented to Christina Parisi of the New York chapter of NATP.

Parisi has been a member of the New York chapter for more than five years. The New York chapter is one of the longest active NATP chapters.

Similar to many organizations, the NATP New York chapter shifted its events and meetings online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Parisi was an integral part of that transition, according to the George Powers, New York NATP chapter board president.

“Christina helped the New York chapter adapt to these changing times without skipping a beat,” Powers said. “She is often the first point of contact for members and prospects and has provided vital tax updates in chapter communications.”

NATP state chapters allow members to connect with other tax professionals on a local level to network, educate each other and provide support during tax season and beyond.

“Our state chapters are an important part of NATP, and I love to hear about chapter members stepping up and making a difference in their local communities,” said Cynthia Jackson, NATP chapter program manager.
