Don Washington Confirmed by the Senate as Director of the US Marshal Service

On March 14, 2019, the United States Senate confirmed  NAFUSA member Don Washington to be the director of the United States Marshals Service. Washington served as the United States Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana (2001-2010). He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point with a degree in mechanical engineering and served as an Army captain of the Air Defense Artillery and in the Army Reserve from 1983 to 1987. He has a law degree from South Texas College in Houston. He was sworn in late this week and, unfortunately, his new duties required him to tender his resignation as the treasurer of NAFUSA. The NAFUSA board will select his successor next week at the board’s Spring Board Meeting in Naples, Florida.
