QUINCY — Quincy Township Assessor Lisa Gasko recently was awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Property Assessment Award in recognition of her long career in property assessment, contributions to the industry and dedication to the people of her community.

Gasko has served as Quincy Township assessor since 2016. She previously worked for more than 20 years in the Adams County Supervisor of Assessments office. She holds the Certified Illinois Assessing Officer designation from the Illinois Property Assessment Institute.

In a press release, Quincy Township supervisor Cindy Brink said, “Lisa has shown herself to be a strong community leader. She has continued to show her knowledge in the assessment field as well as partner with the community on a personal and business level.”

“Lisa was the first township assessor in Illinois to use spatial aerial flight technology to affirm assessment accuracy,” retired Tazewell County Supervisor of Assessments Gary Twist said. “Her leadership has provided significant advancement and improvement to her office.”
