Network Federal works with government contractors selling and reselling to the federal government through the GSA schedule. One more Washington Scholar is moving up the national public policy career ladder here in the nation’s capitol. Plus in Jonathan’s own words “I truly believe that my public service experience through my USAF service AND my Washington Scholar internship in the Congress is what gave me the ‘edge’ in getting this job, since there were a lot of other candidates that interviewed for this position”.

The program has now graduated almost 100 young men and women, with close to 40% now fully employed in national public policy careers where they have the opportunity to work for America and make ours a better nation. The other 60% are back in college completing their undergrad degrees, or in Grad School or Law School, and I fully expect them to enter national public policy careers once their formal education is completed and they have those sheepskins to hang on their office wall. In my opinion, America needs the best and brightest of our sons & daughters in it’s leadership if we are to continue to prosper and survive the challenges the world keeps sending our way, and I am seeing the GREAT ROLE that these young Washington Scholars can AND ARE playing in making all that happen.

My purpose with this message is, through you, to try to reach as many federal employees as possible, either through you or your friends and colleagues and associates that work for the federal government. Each year, the U. S. Government conducts it’s own annual charity drive, called “The Combined Federal Campaign” [CFC], so named and structured to replace the countless charities that used to show up every year seeking funds from federal employees, with this single annual drive that then divides the donations among all 4000+ charities. The Future Leaders for America Foundation, which operates the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program, IS an approved and qualified charity within the Combined Federal Campaign [CFC] and thus is one of the 4000+ charities that shares in the donations that federal employees make to CFC. The 2007 Combined Federal Campaign starts this month and continues till the end of this year. More importantly, any funds that donors specifically designate for Future Leaders [Donation ID # 12257] go 100% to them for use in conducting the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program. What I am urging and asking is that you share this message with any and all federal employees, be they your friends or colleagues or associates or family members, making them aware of this PROVEN program with PROVEN results and a PROVEN track record and asking them to check out the Washington Scholars web site at www.washingtonscholars.org and then designate a part of their 2007 CFC donation to # 12257. The motto of our organization is “Training Tomorrow’s National Leaders Today” and by helping fund this fine program, they truly will be helping to ensure that America’s best & brightest of our sons & daughters have this PROVEN pathway of service to our nation and careers in leadership for the betterment of our country.

Many MANY THANKS for your help with this.

Rear Admiral [Ret.] James J. Carey, CHAIRMAN
Future Leaders for America Foundation
