Seeking Writers from the Foreign Service Community
We are seeking submissions for the AFSA News “FS Voice” column, Family Member Matters, a forum for members of the Foreign Service community to voice their opinions on issues of concern.
Examples of topics include: assignment rules changes, unaccompanied assignments; employment and career concerns for spouses; security; handling evacuation; raising children in the Foreign Service; and any of the numerous lifestyle issues unique to the Foreign Service. Columns that address ways that family members overcame obstacles or hardships are particularly welcome.
We also welcome submissions for other AFSA News special features -- Of Specialist Concern, Memo of the Month, FS Health Watch, Where to Retire, and The System and You.
All submissions should be 400 to 500 words. Please send submissions to Associate Editor Shawn Dorman at dorman@afsa.org. There is no deadline. This is a standing call for submissions. AFSA offers a $100 honorarium for Family Member Matters essays published as part of that series. All submissions will be seriously considered. Thanks for thinking about it!
