District Congressional District Liaison for a two-year term ending in
st
December 2018. In 2019, I am now the 1 VP of the Dulles Chapter. I joined
NARFE in 2001. From 2003 to 2008, I was a member of the NARFE Dulles
Chapter Audit Committee. In 2009, I became Chairman of the Audit
Committee and served in that capacity until the end of 2015. I served for two
st
years as the 1 VP of the Dulles Chapter. I am a board member of the Fairfax
County Taxpayers Alliance and a member of the Association of Government
Accountants.

I am Vanessa Washington and I served at the Department of State, Bureau of
Consular Affairs, Office of Legal Affairs, as the Chief of the Law

Enforcement Liaison Division. As a Freedom of Information Act and
Citizenship specialist, I was the Bureau's liaison with Federal, State and local
law enforcement entities, domestic and international. For law enforcement,

my division provided information necessary to identify, apprehend or deter
any individual representing themselves as a U.S. citizen, attempting to enter
the United States. For the average U.S. citizen attempting to research their
ancestry, or needing to prove U.S. citizenship, we provided information from

U.S. passports, which could be used to prove U.S. citizenship status. I also
taught a class on how to use the passport systems to new Diplomatic Security
agents. My office also secured and managed the serving President's passport

records.

In addition, I was privileged to be part of a group to develop the current
passport system, which secures the U.S. passport records, images and data. I

retired in 2014 and now enjoy traveling, drawing and painting!
