| Vice President |
| Steve Kashkett |
Welcome We in the State Department's active-duty membership, the largest constituency in AFSA, are a dynamic group of Foreign Service professionals serving under challenging conditions in every corner of the globe. My 20-year career as an FSO has spanned five overseas postings, including two war zones, on three continents, as well as Washington assignments in several different bureaus. As the AFSA Vice President for State, I am here to represent the concerns of the active-duty Foreign Service and to fight for the things that matter to us, such as overseas locality pay, fairness in assignments and promotions, quality-of-life issues, and a meaningful role in the foreign policymaking process for our career diplomats. AFSA, as the public voice of the Foreign Service and as our official labor-management representative, can make a difference! Please help me serve you better by sharing your concerns and ideas with me. I can be reached by e-mail at KashkettSB@state.gov or by phone at 202-647-8160. Want to help? If you are not already a member, please join AFSA. If you are overseas, become a Post Representative. If you are in Washington, please watch for an announcement of opportunities to serve on AFSA's State Standing Committees. Want more information? Sign up for AFSANET to monitor developments. Members with specific questions or grievance issues should contact the appropriate AFSA Staff member, or myself at KashkettSB@state.gov. For more information on AFSA Membership, please contact Member Services at member@afsa.org. |
