Our Department of State (DOS) team was recently honored at the DOS office in Washington, DC with a special award recognizing our recent work with the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs (SPEHA) program. The award is in recognition for our unwavering commitment, innovative approaches, and outstanding performance in the development and implementation of the SPEHA's groundbreaking Family Travel Program.
This program is committed to helping families of wrongfully detained individuals travel to Washington to advocate for their loved ones' release. In total we have worked on four SPEHA missions, including one in Afghanistan, one in Venezuela, and two from Russia, working closely to arrange transportation for family members as their wrongfully detained loved ones return home. We have been working with the SPEHA program since March 2024.
The award was presented by the SPEHA team from the Department of State.
