AAFSW’s Response to FLO Name Change Proposal

Last month, AAFSW was notified about the proposed name change of the Family Liaison Office.  In early May, the DG Digest and FLO publicly announced this initiative stating ” To better reflect the advocacy, programs, and services the Family Liaison Office (FLO) provides to all employees and family members from over 50 U.S. federal government agencies serving overseas under Chief of Mission authority and returning to the U.S., the office is gearing up for a name change.”

Please see the letter AAFSW sent to the Director General expressing our concern about the rush to change the name of a well-established office that specifically supports Foreign Service Family Members.

Sincerely

Lara Center

President
