CARSON CITY — Sharon Rigby of Elko began serving on the Nevada Tax Commission this month as the appointed mining industry member.

Rigby was one of two new members to join the commission in November, along with Reno native Randy J. Brown of AT&T.

An attorney with more than 30 years of experience in the mining industry and in taxation, Rigby opened her Elko firm in 2015 to serve Nevada’s mining industry with state and local tax and valuation services.

Prior to that, she worked for Ryan LLC from 2011 to 2014, providing tax and valuation consulting to mining operations throughout the United States and Canada.

From 1987 to 2010 Rigby worked for Newmont Mining Corp., where she gained valuable experience in mine accounting, tax, business and litigation. She received the Chairman’s Award from Newmont’s board of directors in recognition of her successful integration and settlement of tax issues related to a complex merger.
