Kimberly Wiggins, Past President and Montgomery County Trustee, was honored for her outstanding service as TAPTP President during the 2022-2023 term. She received the award in recognition of exemplary service to our state-wide organization as President. Newly elected TAPTP President Erica S.

Her dedication and vision have significantly strengthened our organization and set a high bar for us all. We are grateful for her contributions and the lasting impact she had on our mission."

Following Wiggins's celebrated tenure, Erica S. Gilmore, Metropolitan Trustee of Nashville & Davidson County, took on the role of TAPTP President for the 2024-2025 term. A seasoned board member with extensive experience, Gilmore is eager to lead TAPTP with a focus on advancing best practices in delinquent tax collection. "It’s an honor to serve, and I’m committed to pushing our organization forward with a focus on innovation and progress," she said.
