Dear Reader ,
My name is Melissa Grass , and I am the Founder and CEO of Freedom Federal Educators . It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to Freedom Federal Educators Magazine . This edition is full of educational and informative content written by some of the nation ’ s top Federal Retirement Consultants . We are committed to the federal employees that we serve and welcome the opportunity to continue as your trusted advocates and advisors as we assist you in navigating your federal benefits .
This past year has brought about many changes while learning how to adapt through a global pandemic . Changes that have challenged us in our attempt to bring the very best educational materials that you have come to love and expect from us . No matter the situation , we will always strive to be the advocates that you deserve .
I founded this company with a vision that we could bring much-needed educational services to the federal employees who were in desperate need of help . Through years of hard work and dedication , Freedom Federal Educators was born . FFE is the culmination of our experience and the thoughts and insights of respected leaders as well as the daily providers of education and planning . We engage our educators and financial professionals as well as other professionals , organizations , and institutions in a common purpose . We look at the real needs of federal employees and their families and the important role we play . We strive to make education and retirement preparedness a fundamental necessity that is more widely known to be available to federal employees . We commit to raising a loud voice by providing the opportunity across the United States and to speak up and lead to change and transformation .
A passionate vision , isn ’ t it ? It is my pledge to do everything that I can to ensure that the needs of those we serve are being met . It is time for more to be done , for more guidance and more support to be provided . I truly hope that FFE can make a difference . No , it is not just a passionate vision , but the vision of our future .
Sincerely ,
Melissa Grass , Founder & CEO FreedomFedEd . com
