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

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
