Happy Spring to one and all! I hope that many of you can join us later this month at the Joint DC & NoVA Post event at the Army Navy Club in DC – it will be our next Industry Government Engagement (IGE) session focused on improving the cyber security of our buildings and low voltage system. See you there on the 21st!
WE NEED SOME VOLUNTEERS!! We have a new STEM focused camp at Quantico this summer and need a few of you to step in to support. Please contact Jay Manik if you have any questions – the time commitment is much less with this camp and it is local. See details below – deadline is April 30th.
Stay tuned for a new NoVA Post survey coming your way. Thanks to the leadership of Phil Hicks, Rob Snow, and Vineet Nair, we have a short survey to determine how best we can steer the NoVA Post ship in the future! Your voice matters so please complete it when it arrives in your inbox…
