Members receive benefits such as access to profiles, directories, forums, and the ability to exchange ideas and form coalitions around critical tax policy issues. The website mentions the Paul Frankel Excellence in State Taxation Award and alumni contacts. Overall, it serves as a platform for sharing knowledge and connecting with policymakers across the country in both private and public sectors.
