The WSBA Taxation Section is pleased to announce the keynote speaker will be Gregory Jenner, a partner at Stoel Rives LLP in Washington, D.C. Greg will provide color commentary on the recent Tax Cut and Jobs Act – the inside story of how the bill came to be and the implications for future tax bills.
Greg has 10 years of combined experience at Treasury and on Capitol Hill. He was privileged to serve as both Acting Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury for Tax Policy (2004) and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy (2002-2004). As Acting Assistant Secretary, Greg directed the Treasury’s Office of Tax Policy, which is responsible for providing the Administration with policy analysis, advice and recommendations relating to all aspects of federal taxation. He advised President Bush and Secretaries Snow and O’Neill on tax policy issues, including launching the Administration’s review of fundamental tax reform. Greg also served at Treasury from 1989-1992, as the Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy.
Before joining Treasury in 1989, Greg began his tenure in Washington as Tax Counsel for the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance (1985-1989), where he helped write the Tax Reform Act of 1986, among other pieces of tax legislation.
Greg is a frequent commentator on tax policy for CNN, Politico, NPR, Bloomberg, Law 360, and other publications. Greg’s viral quote “Holy Crap! What’s this?” effectively captured the prevailing attitude among tax professionals about TCJA
