“It’s an honor to be elected president of the IPPA,” said Roberts. “The IPPA continues to be a well-known and respected voice in the government and payroll industries. With all the proposed federal and state regulations that are still coming at us, IPPA’s role in lending their voice and amending proposed legislation has never been more essential. I am thrilled to step into the role as president and further collaborate with our representatives and regulators to make sure our industry continues to thrive thanks to a proper balance of rules, regulations and oversight.”
As Director of Firmwide Sales at BerganKDV, Roberts has built a nationally recognized sales organization over the past 16 years, that has been a key contributor to BerganKDV’s growth which surpassed $100 million in revenue in the fiscal year 2022.
