But in addition to his military experience, he is also an accomplished engineer who has supported aviation operations and contributed to the International Space Station.
“He also contributed as a member of the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders during the Obama Administration, where he advised the president on executive branch efforts to improve support for AAPI veterans so that more would have the chance to serve our country. I am glad his years of service are being recognized with this nomination.

A native of California and third-generation American of Japanese ancestry, Fukushima has been active in promoting Asian American advancement in American society. That is why I am so glad he has been nominated to serve on the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
“It is so crucial that our country’s diversity is represented and reflected in our government’s leadership. I am glad that President Biden has continued his efforts to appoint diverse members in these important positions, including Ravi Chaudhary and Glen Fukushima. I hope the Senate will act swiftly on these nominees.”
