Supporting entrepreneurship among Foreign Service families
Aside from promoting the services of Sean P. McKee, this website seeks to be an online resource for finding tools, information and services for living and working overseas.
As a member of a U.S. Foreign Service family, many challenges exist for family members interested in continuing their professional development while living in a foreign country. It must be noted that the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development are working to expand the opportunities for family member employment at Embassies.
It is very appropriate to embrace the entrepreneurial ideals of the United States and recognize that we, as citizens of the world, must also 'make our own luck.' Family members should take their careers/businesses as seriously as necessary and seek to grow both personally and professionally. As part of this effort, these entrepreneurs must also look for ways to donate their knowledge, talent and time to support other Foreign Service entrepreneurs throughout the world.
The bottom line: By working in our businesses and supporting each other professionally, family member employment in meaningful and challenging career areas will become a standard expectation, and a reality, in the U.S. Foreign Service.
