ANSO is in need of your leadership. We have enjoyed some tremendous dedication and charismatic leadership in the past few years due to some amazing people within our ranks but like in all democratic circles the time has come for us to select the next generation of leaders. In May during our Symposium we will be electing new officials to fill a few selected positions. The Nominations Committee seeks your assistance in identifying potential candidates to fill these vacancies.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) is looking to bring attention to the
issue of underrepresentation of Hispanics in the Federal workforce. The DC
Chapter of NAHFE is assisting the CHC in collecting resumes from Hispanic
professionals interested in working in the next administration.

To that end, they request:

1.- Resumes of qualified Hispanic Professionals from your organization that
might be interested in working in the next administration.
