Abstract:

IRS' Statistics of Income (SOI) Division has had, for over 15 years, a panel of consultants whose membership consists of a distinguished group of individuals in government, nonprofit organizations, academia, and the private sector. The group has always had a keen interest in providing assistance to SOI towards the fulfillment of its mission by assisting SOI and its staff in improving its deliverables and performance by providing guidance and advice on the informational needs and best practices in the user community. In addition, it has helped as a management sounding board on issues including strategic planning and project prioritization. For many years, this assistance was primarily from periodic meetings wherein SOI projects and plans were presented to get guidance and direction. While these efforts were beneficial, Panel members and SOI staff agreed that greater involvement in the core operations of SOI could be mutually beneficial. This paper is a progress report as to how SOI has gone about to solicit greater involvement from its Panel members, what has been learned, and what approaches are being planned for the future.
