Schaible has served as deputy director for engagements for the Michigan Department of Military and Veteran Affairs (DMVA) since February 2021, overseeing the department’s strategic communications, government affairs, outreach and engagement efforts. He had been with the department since January 2019 and previously served as policy and legislative advisor for DMVA, Michigan Veteran Affairs Agency and the Michigan Veteran Homes.

Prior to joining the DMVA team, Schaible worked for 14 years in the Michigan Legislature in a variety of roles. He has extensive experience in many subject areas related to state government and budget processes as well as advocating for Michigan’s military members, veterans and their families.

A 2005 �������� alumnus who earned a bachelor's degree in political science, he said he welcomes the opportunity to return to his alma mater to advocate for �������� in the hall of state government.

"I look forward to being a public face for �������� and coming back to the University that gave me so many opportunities" as a student, Schaible says. "I look forward to building those campus relationships again and finding out what we need to share with state and federal legislators about our great institution."

“Fred’s professional background makes him uniquely qualified to represent �������� with our government stakeholders. He’s a Bronco with experience in the House, Senate and executive branch of state government. He will be an effective advocate for ��������’s interests,” adds Jeffrey Breneman, �������� vice president for government relations.
