All,

      I trust you will join me in bidding a very fond farewell to our colleague, Sarah Dedic, Abt’s Security Threat Analyst, as she departs this Friday (May 29) to accompany her family on a new assignment and new challenges in Germany.  She has interacted directly with so many of you providing reports and advice on every facet of staff safety and program security and we have come to rely on her guidance.  She will be missed and we all wish her well.

     I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Elizabeth (Beth) Haverty.  She is joining us as a security consultant from Helios Global LLC in Sarah’s position.  You can find her in Sarah’s office, Rm. 4012 in Bethesda and she can be reached at 301-347-5834.

     By way of introduction, Beth is a recent graduate from the College of William and Mary (W&M) with a degree in international relations and Spanish. She has worked as a research assistant for the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations at W&M, as a user experience intern at a market research firm called Fors Marsh Group, and as an intern at a human rights organization in Argentina. Her interest areas include international politics, economics, and security.

     Welcome to Beth and best of luck to Sarah. 

Regards,

David
