ROCKLAND – The city’s longtime assessor was elected president of the Maine chapter of the International Association of Assessing Officers last week during the organization’s annual meeting.

Marian Robinson, 65, of Thomaston, who has been city assessor since February 1987, said the organization of assessors is an educational and research association of people in the assessment profession and others with an interest in property taxation. The group also follows a code of ethics, she said.

The chapter elected Robinson president Nov. 12 during the meeting at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland.
