LEE GUIRLANDA Operations Manager, Accounts Management, IRS's Office of Wage and Investment. "I have assisted more than 150 graduates from Lions World find jobs with the Internal Revenue Service." "I'm Lee Guirlanda, Operations Manager for the IRS's Accounts Management Organization and I'm totally blind. In the call site I manage, we have 270 employees, 8 of whom are visually impaired. Lions World Services for the Blind provided me with the opportunity, for not just a job but for a career." "I graduated from LWSB in 1973 and began my career as a Taxpayer Service Representative in San Diego. In 1975, I was selected as one of the first Taxpayer Service Representatives to participate in a nationwide program designed to establish the newly created Taxpayer Service Specialist position. I was responsible for handling complex tax law issues, instructing tax law classes, performing customer outreach and conducting small business seminars." "I've spent nearly 25 years in management, the last 14 at the top level. One of my principle duties is to coordinate three IRS programs at LWSB, for the Compliance and the Accounts Management organizations. Over the past several years, I've assisted more than 150 persons with disabilities begin their careers with the IRS. We continually look for additional positions that may be adapted for the blind or visually impaired. If you have questions or want additional information about LWSB and employment at the IRS, you may contact me at [email protected]." http://www.jobs.irs.gov/dis_lionsworld.html
