The Senate Confirmation Process: It’s Not Over Until It’s Over

September 21, 2020

The political appointments process does not end with nomination - that is only the beginning!  In this session 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.
