“Kip brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Policy and Taxation Group and will help us get the message out about the challenges families face in today’s business environment,” said Soldano in making the announcement. “He will help us focus attention on punitive taxes families and their businesses face,” she said. “We’re excited to have Kip join the doard of directors and to have his perspective and experience.”
