U.S. Department of Education Testimony and 2025 In‑Person Follow‑Up Invitation
In 2023, I received my first invitation to provide public comment to the U.S. Department of Education as part of their federal rulemaking process. I prepared and submitted a three‑minute written speech, which was later published by Veterans Education Success, the national organization that represents military‑connected students in federal policy discussions.
Following that initial submission, I received a second invitation in 2025 requesting that I appear in person before the Department of Education’s board to continue contributing to the conversation. Although scheduling constraints prevented my attendance, the invitation reflects federal‑level recognition of my credibility, message clarity, and the value of my communication. The related email correspondence is included in PDF format as supporting documentation.
