The Professional Managers Association (PMA) is encouraged by the Treasury Secretary and Acting IRS Commissioner’s recent recognition of the importance of morale within the Internal Revenue Service. A committed, engaged, and empowered workforce is essential for the IRS to carry out its mission on behalf of the American people.
In recent months, IRS employees, particularly managers and executives—have faced significant adversity. Key policy decisions have contributed to the departure of experienced leaders, the marginalization of institutional knowledge, and a broader erosion of confidence across the agency. These conditions have produced one of the most challenging leadership and morale climates in the IRS’s modern history.
We urge Treasury and IRS leadership to engage directly with the managers who continue to serve with dedication and professionalism. These individuals bring decades of experience and a deep commitment to public service. Their insights and leadership are critical to restoring agency stability and ensuring a successful tax filing season ahead.
PMA stands ready to partner with Treasury and IRS leadership to address these concerns, rebuild trust, and position the agency for long-term success. We remain committed to advocating for IRS managers and ensuring they have a voice in shaping the future of the Service.
Sincerely,
Kelly Reyes
Executive Director
Professional Managers Association
