Join the Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC) for an exciting month of events and activities focused on preparedness in the homeland and national security community. The members of GTSC believe that leading by example is a large part of our responsibility to assist our Federal partners with achieving their critical missions. This month we focus on both the contracting community's preparedness, in addition to ways to strengthen the public private partnership between the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) to increase our preparedness, resiliency and our "Whole Community."

GTSC focuses this month on getting our members prepared, partnering with the American Red Cross Ready Rating program and announcing an important leadership initiative for GTSC members.  Together with the InfraGard National Capital Region Members Alliance, we will also host a special program on FEMA, HHS and the public private partnerships that contribute to our preparedness and take a look at what partnerships are needed in the future to leverage the nation's resources even more effectively.

Together with the InfraGard National Capital Region Members Alliance, GTSC hosts a special program that focuses on the public private partnerships that contribute to our preparedness and examines how we can further successful partnerships to leverage further our nation's resources. >>Register

The Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC) is a nonprofit, non-partisan association of innovative, agile small and midsize company CEOs that create, develop and implement solutions for the Federal homeland and national security sector. These companies founded the Coalition to band together to confront their short and long-term challenges in the Federal market.

GTSC's mission is to provide exceptional advocacy, capacity building, partnership opportunities and marketing in the Federal security space for small and midsize companies. To accomplish this, we promote better dialogue with Congress and the Administration, provide clarification and representation on essential business issues, and work on behalf of the members on legislative and executive action that can impact their success. GTSC was formed to give small and midsize companies access to an A-list of advocacy, advice and services.

The coalition is also proud to work with Battelle, BDO, Englility, GDIT, Harris, IBM, L-3 Communications Security & Detection, L-3 STRATIS, NTT DATA, SAIC and TASC as mentors to GTSC members as we build a stronger homeland and national security market.
