The Federation is looking for a talented and experienced leader who will communicate our brand to our supporters and engage in strategic partnerships with our members.

At this year’s Summer Meeting, we invited state leaders to take five minutes to share a big idea, talk through an innovative strategy, or offer up an exciting concept in a FEDtalk.
