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

in the areas of recruitment, reten

other federal agencies have an
established federal program for
Blacks in Portland, according to
Valerie Currie, the Black Employ
