The Mission Statement adopted states 

To create and foster a spirit of understanding and cooperation among tax administrators, tax professionals, legislators, and taxpayers striving to continuously improve the quality of the American Tax System.  To achieve that purpose, we will:

 -Work collaboratively to educate taxpayers as to their rights and responsibilities within the tax  law.

 --Work jointly to educate tax professionals and tax administrators through improved communication, team work, and timely dissemination of information.

 --Provide education, assistance, and feedback to legislators in the development and review of federal, state and local tax law.

 --Jointly develop solutions to problems which impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of tax administration.

 --Provide support and assistance to tax exempt organizations dedicated to the furtherance of the objectives stated above.

The spirit at AFIT is to attack the problem, but never an individual.  Members work together in a cooperative, not an adversarial spirit.
