GTSC Releases 5th Anniversary Annual Report

The Government Technology & Services Coalition today released its 5th Anniversary Annual Report, a review of activities in 2016 and a look at the people, companies, and organizations that have contributed to the growth and contributions of the Coalition.

In 2011, the Coalition was formed to provide small companies working in homeland and national security a “voice” in the Federal procurement and acquisition process. Since then, the organization has grown to over 130 companies representing small, mid-tier and large companies interested in bringing the best companies to the mission of homeland and national security.

Since GTSC’s inception they have launched numerous programs and initiatives aimed at ACTION. Not more words or platitudes, but tangible efforts to improve how our government finds and engages the innovation represented by GTSC members.

“It is exciting to see the tremendous amount of innovation being applied today within the homeland security sector,” said Michael Chertoff, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of The Chertoff Group. “It is through innovative technology developments, creative thinking and new approaches – exactly what GTSC members represent – that we are able to bring forward “best-in-class” solutions to help the federal government better protect our homeland and the safety of our citizens.”

Founding Strategic Advisor Michelle Mrdeza on GTSC’s Accomplishments

During our March Membership Madness promotion we asked a number of our Strategic Advisors to share with our community why they joined, how they see us impacting the homeland and national security agenda, and what the ROI for joining the Coalition is for small, mid, and large companies.  In our latest video, Michelle Mrdeza, one of the most respected homeland security professionals in Washington, D.C. discusses the Coalition’s role in educating members of Congress, their staff, and our Federal partners.  Michelle has more than twenty-three years in public service on Capitol Hill and the Executive Branch, including four years as Majority Staff Director of the House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Homeland Security.  At Cornerstone, Michelle contributes to the firm’s homeland security practice group.
