Niesen Named Indiana Chamber Volunteer of the Year

Donna Niesen has been named by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce as a 2019 Samuel C. Schlosser Volunteer of the Year. The award honors community leaders who give their time and expertise to the Chamber for the benefit of all Hoosier businesses.

Niesen, a partner in Katz, Sapper & Miller’s State and Local Tax Group, helps keep clients up-to-date on the multitude of tax rules and requirements in all 50 states. She guides them in the right direction as they address the complex issues that emerge on both the state and local levels. Because of her expertise, she is a “go-to” member of the Indiana Chamber Tax Policy Committee. Niesen also serves on the Commissioner’s Tax Advisory Council, established in 2017 by the Indiana Department of Revenue and designed to help shape the future of tax administration by providing input regarding agency operations, policies, and legislative proposals.

Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar says of Niesen and the other award winners, “Whether it’s helping shape public policy at the Statehouse that impacts a company’s bottom line or being a valuable resource for our staff, they have truly made a difference. Their leadership and expertise benefit all Hoosiers as we work together to accomplish the Chamber’s mission of making Indiana a place of great prosperity.”

Niesen was honored at the 2019 Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s Volunteer of the Year Awards luncheon in Indianapolis.
