9:36 The best candidate should be hired no matter what race sex or age he or she is.
And that should be true throughout the agency.
Also remember that with age comes experience and wisdom.

"Also remember that with age comes experience and wisdom."

Congress proves otherwise.

It's gotta be hard to find someone with a 25 year tenure as the head of a disability rights organization and be under 50. But I'm all for the SSAB to have someone with a "customer" perspective versus a political or agency perspective.
