WELCOME BACK AMANDA!• Please join me in welcoming BACK our newest IFTA,

Inc. team member, Amanda McNally Koeller. • Amanda previously worked with us from December 1997

through August 1999 as a Program Compliance Officer. • Amanda left us when her husband, Jason, got a new job

in Michigan. While the winters were much colder there, Amanda continued her work in the fuel tax industry as a tax accountant/analyst and supervisor in the Technical Tax Department at Avfuel Corporation, the Nation’s largest independent supplies of aviation fuels. Amanda was at Avfuel for 7 years.




• During Amanda’s time in Michigan, she and Jason welcomed Jack and Cade into their family. We are so happy to have Amanda back in Arizona and back at IFTA, Inc.

• Amanda has joined us part time as Program Administrator. She is now the Funds Netting financial master, tracking and scheduling all payments in and out of our funds netting accounts.

• She will also be working with ballot sponsors, learning the program compliance review process including the e-review process, and assisting me in other projects.

• You can reach Amanda at [email protected] or by calling our office.
