Own the U.G.L.Y. – and Plan for Tax Issues – Before Year's End
By Karleen Kos, PSAI Executive Director
I am sure that for many PSAI Members, Chri stmas is looming large as you read Association Insigh t this week.
However, this is the last issue of our newsletter before the end of 2016, so it might be a good idea to think
