The National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO) honored Conklin &amp; de Decker vice president and co-owner Nel Stubbs with the association’s President’s Award. Presented during NASAO’s 86th Annual NASAO Convention and Tradeshow, which was held earlier this month in Point Clear, Alabama, the award is one of NASAO’s highest honors, recognizing individuals who have made long-standing contributions to the association and to state aviation.

 


Stubbs has spent 30 years providing industry expertise on federal and state tax issues, as well as advising on tax planning, cost and financial analysis, budgeting, aircraft ownership, operating structures and tax audits. She has served with Conklin &amp; de Decker since 1999 and before that was senior manager of taxes for NBAA. Widely considered one of the leading industry authorities on aviation tax matters, Stubbs is actively involved with a number of aviation associations and is frequently a speaker at industry events.

 


“Throughout the years, Nel has maintained an unwavering commitment to, and passion for, NASAO and state aviation, with her unmatched expertise and invaluable counsel on state aviation taxes and revenue,” said NASAO president and CEO Mark Kimberling. “Nel continues to be a trusted advisor to the states, an ardent supporter and vital member of NASAO and a true friend.”
