It was a pleasure to attend the European Union in the U.S.'s Transatlantic Bridge Awards last night.
This award recognizes the contributions made in politics, academics, and business to the EU-US relationship.
Congratulations to the three winners! 👏🏼

We commemorated #RemembranceDay at the embassy Saturday. We laid wreaths for the fallen, observed 2 minutes of silence, and listened to the Brass Quintet of the US Air Force Band and children of De Nederlansde School recite a poem they wrote.
Thank you to everyone who joined us.
I am honored to be one of the speakers during the #FreedomConcert on Sunday. I am looking forward to listen to our speakers Mary Elliott, Curator at the Smithsonian’s NMAAHC, and Charles Cuvelier, Superintendent National Park Service - GWMP.
Lunch meeting with Congress members was a good opportunity to focus on US developments on the Future of Work including labor rights, workforce and education. We talked about labor migration, labor market and digitalization.

Andrew J. Enschedé received a special surprise, a “lintje” on behalf of the King. This award recognizes people who have made a special contribution to society, the unsung heroes who work quietly to support and bring together their community.
Congratulations!!

#DutchTulipDays are over! :(
During these past few days we had thousands of tulips decorating the Dutch residence along with native plants and cut flowers.
The tulips were handed out by Birgitta Tazelaar at the ISHDC. Stay tuned for next edition!
I later received the Defense Attaché Spouses Association with our special guest Sharene Brown, who through Five and Thrive raises awareness for the unique challenges facing military families. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
