Hello Team FDS –
Lots going on this month. We are covering a variety of activities going at here at FDS and across the US writ large.
One of those started in 1987 when Congress declared that March is Women’s History Month. As each of you are aware, women have played a critical role throughout the history of the United States. We’ve included an interesting piece on Women in STEM for you to read.
Team FDS –
Hello to each and every one of you. I trust that you are all well.
The team has put together a great monthly for you all. Lots of exciting things going on. Unlike January, where we had lots of people out with COIVD, we seem to have moved past the high point for having people infected and out of work.
Dear FDS Family –
January has been a whirlwind of both good and bad news. We’ve had snow, dramatic NFL playoff games, volcanic explosions, and everything in between. As we returned to work and school after the holidays, the latest COVID surge hit hard and quickly. We have had many people miss work this month as a result. Hopefully the worst is behind us.
Message from the President
Dear FDS Family –
I want to wish each of you Happy Holidays.
Message from the President
FDS Team – I hope you all had a fun and festive Halloween! Thanks for sending in the photos of your kids and pets in costume. Now, if we could only get rid of this leftover candy that keeps appearing in the office. We will observe Veterans Day this week. Thanks to all of you who served and to your families for the support and sacrifices they made. FDS, our customers, and our community are the beneficiaries of your years of service. This month we are highlighting one of the agencies that our Discovery Analytics business line supports. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) plays a key role in ensuring the defense of our nation and has been in the news quite a bit lately with a focus on their role in ensuring fair elections. CISA is led by Jen Easterly, whose name many of you will recognize from her days at the Agency. The most recent Discovery Analytics new hire, Fernando Lopez, is supporting this customer through one of the FDS subcontracts.
Message from the President
Greetings FDS Team – I have just returned from a quick trip to California and am pleased to see the first signs of fall here in Maryland as the weather becomes more pleasant and the change of seasons has begun. Of course, October is start of the hectic holiday season from Halloween through Thanksgiving and Christmas and Hanukah and the holy days of October 17th and December 12th (that’s when the Packers beat the Bears, for all of you nonbelievers).
Message from the President
Happy fall gang – September has arrived and with it comes back to school, Halloween candy in the grocery stores, and the inevitable march of the Green Bay Packers toward another Super Bowl victory. Those of you who were not with FedData during last year’s NFL season should take the coming week to brace yourselves for five months of unapologetic propaganda on Aaron Rodgers, Lambeau Field, the Packers’ glorious wins over the Bears, and other highlights of Wisconsin culture.
