Francisco Zamora

Welcome to the online home of the AFSA USAID Vice President - and, by extension, all USAID members. I am here on your behalf to protect your interests, listen to your opinions, and answer your questions. AFSA monitors and works closely with the Agency, especially Human Resources, to assure that labor agreements are followed. Our relationship with HR is collaborative and we work diligently to prevent problems from occurring. When they do, we strive to arrive at the best outcome on your behalf. We are motivated by the following Core Values: Responsiveness; Effectiveness; Integrity; Efficiency; Teamwork; Courage; Empowerment; and Patriotism. In summary, we represent you and pledge our support when you need us. So, please feel free to contact us anytime via e-mail or telephone.

You may always call me at 202-712-1631 or e-mail me at fzamora@usaid.gov if you have questions or comments. Mike Henning is the USAID Representative on the AFSA governing board. You may contact Mike at mhenning@usaid.gov, or by phone at 202-712-4723. I urge you to visit this page often, as we will update it regularly with pertinent and necessary information.
