The National Center for Transgender Equality congratulates Commissioner Chai Feldblum on her confirmation for a second term to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and we strongly commend President Obama for this selection. Commissioner Feldblum has been an exemplary public servant her whole career and a civil rights hero. Her work and her thinking have been essential to decades of equal employment advances in the U.S.

According to NCTE Executive Director Mara Keisling, “I couldn’t be more pleased that remarkable public servants like Chai Feldblum continue to be appointed to positions that matter so much to transgender working people.”
