"Born, raised and educated in Australia, I chose to travel the world once I completed my undergraduate degree. Some years later, I decided it was time to further my education and found myself in the U.S. I heard horrible things from fellow international students about trying to get degrees "converted" to American equivalents ... thankfully, ECE made it quick, easy and completely painless. The results were just what I needed."
- Beck Lamb, Australia
"I compared many and found ECE's process easy and economical. I got my evaluation report within 30 days time in a well-packed envelope with all my originals back. Good evaluation report format, timely services. I achieved my objective. Keep it up."

"ECE has been helpful! I joined the National Guard with a higher pay grade and the rank of Specialist because of my college degree from Mexico. They checked and validated the transcript from ECE, and it was all good. Eventually I will use this evaluation for further education."

As we wrap up our series on the various ways employees have used their service time to volunteer, we thought we would check in with the president of ECE, Margit Schatzman, to learn about her personal experience volunteering at the voter registration polls.
We are continuing on in our series about volunteer work and employees who are taking advantage of ECE's service time off program. This week we're looking at an opportunity that allows for strengthening not only the community, but the day-to-day tasks of an evaluator. While ECE requires translations for all foreign language documents, many staff members have various levels of expertise with multiple languages.
