Legislative Director

Legislative Director – Barbara Davis

The LATA’s Legislative Director position was formed through the reorganization of duties originally assigned solely to the Executive Director of the LATA. The Legislative Director is charged with representing the LATA at the Louisiana Legislature during regular and special sessions, as well as assisting the LATA organization with various duties associated with the application of the Association’s legislative policy, including meeting with authors/proponents of proposed legislation and voicing the Association’s position on such matters.

Barbara Davis, retired Revenue Tax Director for the Louisiana Department of Revenue, was named to the newly created position by the Board of Directors, effective February 1, 2012. Prior to her retirement, Ms. Davis served as liaison for LDR with the various tax practitioner groups, including the LCPA. Over the course of her career, she was involved with teaching sales tax classes for the LATA and represented LDR at the Auditor’s Workshops held by the LATA at their conferences.

Barbara noted that a person does not know where life’s path will take one and that she is excited that her path has taken her from being representative of the state to the LATA, to now being an official part of the LATA. Barbara is looking forward to working with people that she has grown to know and appreciate as much for their knowledge, as for their ability to get the important goals accomplished for local tax administration. It is a wonderful opportunity and she hopes to learn and contribute to the LATA goals as much as possible.
