Additionally, the meeting addressed the professional development of board members, with two of them set to attend a course offered by the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO). This course, conducted over several days via Zoom, covers fundamental assessment and appraisal techniques, which are important for board members involved in property assessment and tax-related decisions. The discussion included the availability of future courses and the certification requirements tied to these educational opportunities.

The meeting also covered the review and approval of bills related to these training activities and other administrative expenses. The board members acknowledged the logistical aspects of attending in-person training sessions planned for May in East Bridgewater, emphasizing the importance of completing coursework within a specific timeframe to maintain certification eligibility.
