Speakers

Throughout the year, PIAM seeks out speakers to provide Business/Industry Information helpful to members in attendance at our meetings. Often these are our own members sharing investigative secrets or business tips that have helped make their business successful. Sometimes we go outside our industry in search of business topics helpful to everyone. Listed below are two of those speakers that provided interesting and unique perspectives on the IRS and Tax issues.
