I am Daniel H. McGrath and I served in the Departments of Treasury, State
and Labor for over 42 years. I am a proud second generation member of a
three generation federal family. I am also the most recent Past President of
the Maryland Federation of the National Active and Retired Federal
Employees Association (NARFE). During my 38 years with Treasury, I held
positions that included Assistant Chief Disbursing Officer for Financial
Services, Senior Advisor for Cash Management, Director of Budget, and
Chief Operating Officer for the Financial Implementation Team for Electronic
Commerce, to name a few. My Treasury service was complemented by brief
details to the Department of State as an auditor. In addition, I worked for the
Farmers Home Administration during the Reagan Administration as Assistant
Deputy Administrator for Administration and Financial Services. In all the
programs I managed, I saved the American taxpayer hundreds of millions of
dollars, all returned to the United States Treasury.
I am Lisa Timmering and I serve in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) as a Budget Analyst. In addition to my
current assignment in TAS, I served in Federal assignments in personnel,
public affairs, overseas as an Open Source Officer in Cyprus, Panama, and the
United Kingdom, and IRS CFO in budget execution and budget formulation,
totaling 25 years of service.
As a TAS Budget Analyst, I support TAS leadership and colleagues by
assisting them in determining new initiatives in the budget process that will
better serve taxpayers in dealing with their cases not handled by the IRS. For
example, provide initial intake telephone contact with taxpayers to determine
if their cases meet TAS criteria, so that case advocates are able to work on
more complicated cases or upgrade the internal case work system, so that all
case documentation can be included within taxpayers’ case profiles. I also
manage resources for TAS’s training program for managers and employees for
both internal and external training.
