TEI hosts tax organization heads.

The International Tax Directors Forum is an informal organization whose members are the chief executive officers of tax organizations around the world. The group meets once a year to benchmark and exchange ideas on strategic planning, effective use of technology (including the Internet), relationships with government agencies, educational certification, professional standards, membership trends, and other issues. This year, TEI hosted the meeting at the end of May, with representatives from Ireland, United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, and Canada participating. Pictured above at the participants in this year's meeting (left to right): Bob Dommett, Chartered Institute on Taxation (U.K.); Mark Redmond, Irish Taxation Institute; Christine Brunswick, ABA Section of Taxation (U.S.); Timothy McCormally, TEI (U.S.); Pedro Leon y Francia, Asosiacion Espanola de Asesores Fiscales (Spain); Noel Rowland, Tax Institute of Australia; and Steve Richardson, Canadian Tax Foundation. (Neither the ABA Tax Section nor the Canadian Tax Foundation are formally members of ITDF.)
