July 2011


It’s been a tremendous year of growth and significant impact for the Fort Meade region.

With BRAC behind us, we must now focus on how to handle the influx of people and the new opportunity BRAC has presented to the community. There is a new regional landscape with the stand up of U.S. Cyber Command, the expansion of the National Security Agency and the move of the Defense Information Systems Agency, Defense Media Activities and DoD Adjudications to Fort Meade.

The Fort Meade Alliance is doing its part to assist with this next phase of the Fort Meade region’s growth. Our highly impactful organization is made up of 275 member companies representing 60,000 regional employees. We are charged with providing members with information, knowledge, education, training, contacts, networking, and understanding, as well as access to Fort Meade region business opportunities. This includes the Fort George G. Meade Installation Command, the government agencies and organizations based at Fort Meade, federal prime contractors, federal subcontractors, commercial entities, regional small business requirements, and public sector needs.

Our initiatives include marketing the region; keeping federal, state, and local representatives informed of FGGM’s priorities interests and concerns; regional transportation planning and implementation support; P-20 science, technology, engineering and math curriculum development; targeted workforce development; business networking and opportunities; and community service in support of FGGM, its soldiers and their families.

Many of our programs are focused on the Fort Meade region and those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Together with the help of the business community, the Fort Meade Alliance assisted in delivering the completed Soldier and Family Assistance Center with a $135,000 community fundraising effort. We assisted in the planning, purchasing and outfitting the new facility for the ribbon cutting in November 2010 and the official SFAC opening in February 2011. Our public-private effort even received national recognition when Fort George G. Meade and Fort Meade Alliance were awarded the 2010 Secretary of Army Quality of Life Partnership Award.

On behalf of the Fort Meade Alliance Executive Committee and Board of Directors, we welcome you to the Fort Meade Alliance. If you are not already a member, please consider joining our organization. This web site provides details about what we do and how you can get involved. For those of you who are members, we thank you for your support of our organization and we encourage you to get even more involved in FMA committees and initiatives.

We look forward to the year ahead — continuing to deliver regional impact and really making a difference.

Sincerely,
Rosemary Budd
President, Fort Meade Alliance
Vice President, TASC, Inc.
