THE FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL | MAY-JUNE 2026 65 AFSA NEWS AFSA continues its ongoing series listing recent retirements and other departures from the Foreign Service, which began with the March-April edition. AFSA is offering FS members the opportunity to self-report their departure from the Service (through retirement, resignation, or RIF) for publication in The Foreign Service Journal. This is one small way to honor your years of service. AFSA has created a form for FS members who choose to selfreport these events. This is entirely voluntary. Please report only your own departure; encourage your friends and colleagues to also send in the form. If your last day of service was on January 1, 2025, or later, and you would like to be included, please share your information by completing the form at https://bit.ly/AFSAdepartures. We will include your name and agency under the month that you completed your service. Please wait until you are “departure official” before reporting your separation. This list reflects Foreign Service members from all the foreign affairs agencies who let us know they departed the Foreign Service in 2025–2026. Names are listed by month, in alphabetical order within each month. n FOREIGN SERVICE DEPARTURES FOR 2025–2026 February 2025 Shawna Hirsch—USAID March 2025 Chitahka Floore—USAID April 2025 Donald Kilburg III—State Carrie Muntean—State May 2025 Croshelle Harris—USAID Holly Peirce—State June 2025 Barry Collins—USAID Lisa Gutierrez—USAID Steven Herman—USAGM James Kovar—USAID Ruth Madison—USAID David Mandis—State July 2025 Minal Amin—USAID Nina Bowen—USAID Karen Brown—State Michelle Corzine—USAID Katrina Erdahl—USAID Nancy Eslick—USAID Sarah Henly-Shepard— USAID Chi-Poe Hsia—USAID Brioni James—USAID Michelle Jennings—USAID Miranda Jolicoeur—USAID Adrianne LaNeave— USAID Clare Masson—USAID Pauline Melvin—USAID Taraneh Milani-Roohi— USAID Izetta Minko-Moreau— USAID Kira Mickie Mitre—USAID Ryan Shelby—USAID Rachel Sorey—USAID Amy Southworth—USAID Ananthy Thambinayagam—USAID Sherry Ward—USAID Corina Warfield—USAID Zachary Wehrli—USAID August 2025 Linda Fenton—State September 2025 Kitty Andang—USAID Danielle Bash—USAID Christina Beck—USAID Lisa Brancheau—USAID Sara Calvert—USAID Alicia Contreras-Donello— USAID Scott Dobberstein— USAID Ana Duque-Higgins— State Christopher Foley—USAID Roy Geiser—USAID Luann Gronhovd—USAID Scott Higgins—State Amy Holman—FCS Brooke Isham—USAID Whitney Jensen Rodrigues—USAID Alexis Jones—USAID Regina Jun—USAID Ronit Kirshner Gerard— USAID Sara Krumm—State Katelin Maher—USAID Ashley Marcus—USAID Guy Martorana—USAID Susan McFee—State Jeremy Meadows—USAID Debi Mosel—USAID Virginia Murray—State Adam Norikane—USAID Michelle Parker—USAID C.
