Ä nnovation is not a new concept to the Internal Revenue Ser vice. In 1980, IRS, in conjunction with its Black employees, esta blished the Black Employment Program. Early on, IRS and its Black employees realized a program was needed to assist management in the areas of recruitment, reten tion, and upward mobility. Inter nal Revenue Service and a few other federal agencies have an established federal program for Blacks in Portland, according to Valerie Currie, the Black Employ ment Program Coordinator and Revenue Agent. To further demonstrate their support, in March, 1988, the IRS, through the Black Employment I COMMUNITY COLLEGE A v ia tio n G ro u n d School Taught by Stephen E. McPherson, a pilot of 35 years and NAI Instructor This eleven week class covers all the basics of flying and includes two field trips. ★ Principles of aerodynamics ★ Meteorology — Identifying cloud formations Forecasting moisture Interpreting weather charts ★ Weight and balance ★ Navigation — Reading sectional charts Instrument flying The international phonetic alphabet ★ FAA regulations/interpretations ★ The cockpit environment The FAA written test will be administered during the final week of ClaSSGS Section #100-400 Program, invited four members from the Black Community to assess the status of the Black Employment Program. Ms. Carolyn Leonard, Director of the Multi-Cultural/Multi-Ethnic Program for Portland Public Schools, Mr. Sam Brooks of Brooks and Associates, Ms. Kath leen Saadat, the Affirmative Ac tion Officer for the State of Oregon, and Mr. McKinley W ill iams, former Director of Labor for the Urban League, provided infor mation to assure that the future d ire ctio n of the IRS Black Employment Program is meaning ful to the Black employee and the District. A plague of appreciation was presented to them on Aug. 4, 1988. Currie stated that a few of the goals of the program will be to establish recruitment sites within the community, promote the IRS as a career opportunity, and to continue VITA, the Volunteer In come Tax Assistance program. It keeps more than memories alive. THE AM ERICAN HEART ASSŒ IATION M E M O R IAL PROGRAM.
