Editor's Notes
- INTRODUCTION/ICE BREAKER Pleasure to be here this morning. Difficult to decide ---> I don't want to repeat things you’ve already heard. So, I'll simply speak from my heart. Difficult audience deans, vice presidents, all very important & educated folks! What can I offer? Difficult time in our history. IRS is under siege. When IRS is under siege, many forget about IRS, diversity, and affirmative action. A rich history...a proud history...a history worthy of celebration!!! We build our history everyday! Not just in February… We build our history everyday! It is critical that we stay focused.
