A MONTHLY PUBLICATION December 2022 | Issue 12

A WORD FROM OUR CEO

Hello {First Name},


A new year is upon us, AMSG’s 15th year supporting the various Missions of our Federal Government, and we’re ready to start fresh. But before we do, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on our year of firsts in this special “AMSG 2022 Year in Review” edition. While there have certainly been some challenges along the way, this year has been special for so many reasons. Through the wins and losses in the years ahead, AMSG will continue to be a company that lives its Core Values – “the 3 C’s” – Competence, Courage, and Compassion. These three C’s will be our North Star.


In this “review” edition, we’ve sprinkled in a few of our top 2022 articles, but more importantly, we’re examining our growth and the new initiatives we rolled out this year. Therefore, we highlight what our employees are saying about AMSG. We also feature notes, figures, and graphics on our communication efforts, employee engagement activities, nominations and awards, and our nonprofit partners and customers. I am humbled by and proud of our documented efforts and accomplishments that are on full display this month. They are made possible because of the people who make up AMSG – our people, our culture, are the fabric of this organization. 


Speaking of people and culture, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention one major piece of news: the promotion of Angela (or “Angie”) Lee. In November, Angie was promoted from Senior Director of Operations, Account Management, and Employee Engagement to Vice President of Operations. For 5 years, Angie has mentored employees, helmed several leading roles, and managed some of AMSG’s major accounts. Angie is an integral member of our team and I am more than confident that she will continue to help move AMSG forward. Let’s all raise a glass to and congratulate Angie for a job well done!


And while we’re celebrating, let’s also celebrate the NEW customers we are supporting and existing customers we will continue to support in 2023! In 2022, we welcomed new relationships with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and just in the past few days, we received word from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), that our team, headed by AMSG, has been selected for the next generation of the ATSS IDIQ, valued at $1.5 Billion. This incredibly good news comes on the heels of being awarded the Department of Energy’s TEPS III Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a ceiling of $400 Million. We also won our recompete of our FTC support services contract. And earlier this year, the DHS entrusted us with the support contract to help out with their highly publicized Operation Allies Welcome (OAW) program. In all of these examples of AMSG’s success in 2022, we can look to the strong performance of AMSG’s Business Development Team, our Operations Teams, and equally as important, the relationships we have formed with teammates over years and years of supporting our customers’ various Missions in support of something bigger than ourselves. This is what makes AMSG, AMSG. Our commitment to results, based on trusted relationships that endure.


Finally, as I close out this year’s last AMSGazette, I ask you: in reviewing your 2022 year, what does your “year of firsts” look like? What did you accomplish and what will you prioritize in 2023 as a result? As we dash out to purchase last-minute gifts and prepare for (solitary or familial) celebratory dinners this holiday season, don't forget to acknowledge and celebrate your wins. We've all been through quite a bit this year (truly the last several years), so it's only fitting that we honor ourselves by recalling the lessons and the best moments of 2022 to prepare us for the year ahead and years to come. 


Thank you to our amazing team, our customers and nonprofit partners, our Veterans and Military community, and my Bunker Labs CEOcircle community for a wonderful 2022 year. 


From me and all of us at AMSG, we wish you and your family a Happy Holiday Season!

Warm Regards,

Jim O'Farrell

President and CEO

The Spirit of Giving

By: Sandra Magura, Quality Manager


About a month ago I contacted a local Elks lodge for information on ways to support Veteran families during the holiday season. I was then referred to a group that they had been working with for years. The Ruyts Foundation of Veteran Suicide Prevention had four families that needed help with Christmas this year. So, with that, AMSG decided to fully support two of those families with a $2500 donation. This time, my 13-year-old daughter and I took on this project, personally. 


Actually, my 13-year-old daughter (Charlotte) and I set out on a shopping adventure. I was given a detailed list via email and I created a spreadsheet. With some research online, I gave myself a budget for each item. This made it easier for her and me to do the math when out shopping. So, on my first time EVER Black Friday shopping, we headed out to the stores at 6am. We filled shopping carts one by one on a few trips out that weekend and I finished it up with Amazon.


This project was more than just shopping for things people wanted/needed for Christmas. This project held a special place in my heart. 13 years ago, we were one of those families. I was laid off, my husband was in school using VOC Rehab from the Army after his injury, we had a 1-month-old baby, and a mortgage. I had worked since I was 13, paid for college myself, and had never asked for anything. But sometimes, you need to. And this is what I was teaching my daughter. Sometimes people NEED HELP. And with help from organizations and companies like AMSG philanthropically contributing, it can happen. 


This year AMSG took another new step in the right direction by helping local families in need. Thank you AMSG for letting me be the one to take on this project. Thank you for allowing me to share the real reason for the Christmas season, GIVING, with my daughter. AND THANK YOU for continuing to support people and organizations the way you do.
