Key Perspectives You Can Learn from Other |

The
NTA, in partnership with the Office of Tax Policy Research at the
University of Michigan, and with funding support from the Tax Analysts, is sponsoring a one-day conference on September
29, 2006 in Washington, D.C. Representatives of different
disciplines and professions will highlight the five key perspectives
others should know from their discipline or profession regarding taxation
and tax policy. One
of the strengths of the NTA is its interdisciplinary focus. Unlike
many other groups that consist almost exclusively of one discipline or
profession, the NTA celebrates its unique combination of members working
in the tax policy and tax administration areas from multiple disciplines.
We have shared knowledge with each other over the years, but there is even
more we can learn. As
David Wessel of the Wall Street Journal noted in his luncheon address at a
recent annual conference, we need to be sure we aren’t just talking to
ourselves. If we cannot communicate beyond our own profession, our impact
on public policy will be significantly limited. Thus,
this is an opportunity for each of us to better understand other
perspectives and potentially work more effectively as a result of that
knowledge. Each presenter will identify five (and only five) key points
about their role in the tax system, how their perspective is unique, what
others should know to better understand their role, and what others might
do differently as a result of the knowledge. The format of the conference
will be designed to maximize the give-and-take among the presenters and
the audience for what will be an exciting event in which you will have the
opportunity to see and learn from the power of NTA’s interdisciplinary
teaming and focus. Thomas Neubig and Joel Slemrod, Conference Organizers |
