Our congratulations and thanks to Michelle Thomé (michellethome@gmail.com) and John Oates (john@mobb.co.uk) for receiving the 2025 ITAA Service Award. Their awards will be presented during the ITAA AGM meeting at WTAC2025 on 8 Aug 2025 in Montpellier, France.
John Oates, the past Treasurer of the ITAA, is receiving the 2025 ITAA Service Award for his outstanding contributions to the association. In 2017 during the Berlin World TA Conference, at a time when the ITAA urgently needed a treasurer with deep expertise and strategic insight into the financial implications of decisions, investments, cost-saving measures, and overall financial strategy, by a stroke of luck, John Oates was present while his wife, Steff Oates, received the ITAA Service Award. We were fortunate that John, a chartered accountant with vast experience and wisdom, agreed to step into the voluntary role of ITAA Treasurer.
John served in that position for two terms, and under his leadership, the ITAA’s financial health improved steadily. During those years, John ran the finances with precision and diligence, much like a captain overseeing a tight ship, always keeping an eye on the bottom line. He helped us with his expertise in management, accounting, and budgeting to solve the many financial issues ITAA had developed over the years. He sorted out financial issues, found creative solutions to urgent problems, and offered perspective in board meetings. On our executive boards, we often benefitted from the perspective on an “outsider” whose professional passion is not TA.
John championed several initiatives, including long-term cost-saving measures such as reducing inventory and storage costs (e.g., auctioning books at conferences), cutting down on bank fees and investment charges, and developing strategies to boost membership numbers, thereby strengthening ITAA’s overall financial position.
John also brought a sense of humor to the table, often lightening the mood, yet he was never shy about openly disagreeing when he had a different perspective...

Their awards will be presented during the ITAA Annual General Membership (AGM) meeting on 8 August 2025 in Montpellier, France, during the 2025 World TA Conference.
Michelle Thomé is receiving the 2025 ITAA Service Award for her extraordinary efforts to create a new website and brand for the ITAA and for spearheading ITAA’s presence on social media. She had demonstrated leadership, commitment, and creativity to bringing the ITAA into the digital age.
Michelle’s extraordinary dedication and contributions to the ITAA span 6 years and multiple roles, marking her as an invaluable asset to the organization.
As the regional representative for Latin America from 2018–2021, she played a pivotal role in collaborating with the IBOC to secure the recognition of UNAT exams, a crucial achievement for meeting the certification needs of members in her region. She then transitioned into the position of ITAA Vice President Development and continued to demonstrate exceptional leadership, creativity, and commitment.
Michelle led several initiatives, including the highly successful 2021 Online TA Conference. As the Conference Chair, she ensured that it was profitable and was deeply appreciated for its effectiveness and impact within the TA community, especially during Covid when it was not possible to organize an in-person event.
Michelle’s most significant legacy, however, was her leadership in the redesign of the ITAA logo and the ITAA website...
