LCWINS Presents: The Senate Confirmation Process: It’s Not Over Until It’s Over
The political appointments process does not end with nomination - that is only the beginning! In this session, the fifth in the LCWINS webinar series, we will focus on how to successfully navigate the Senate confirmation process. Our speakers will provide advice on filling out questions for the record (QFRs) and about testifying in front of Congress during a confirmation hearing. They will also discuss the process and timeline in depth, and describe ways that political appointments can be jeopardized in the Senate and what can be done to prevent it.
This webinar features Jamie Jones Miller, former Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs as moderator, and the speakers include Ann Elise Sauer, who was the Republican Staff Director of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Algene Sajery, who was the Democratic Policy Director on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Gen. Lori Robinson, USAF (Ret.), who will reflect upon her own nomination and confirmation process, and her extensive experience testifying before Congress. Hosted by LCWINS. Recorded Monday, September 21, 2020.
