On September 24, NSPE's Government Relations Manager Arielle Eiser attended a political action committee event for Senator Tim Kaine. NSPE's top legislative issues were discussed, including veterans' licensure and certification and the need to strengthen the American engineering workforce. Senator Kaine is the primary sponsor of the Troop Talent Act of 2013 (S. 700/H.R. 1796) in the Senate, which NSPE endorsed earlier this month. The Troop Talent Act would facilitate improved alignment of specialty skills acquired in military service with civilian certifications or licenses required for post-service employment.
