Dear GTSC Members, Government Partners, Supporters, and Friends,

Congratulations on another tremendous year! When I write this annual note, I think, “What have we done this year of which we can be proud? What progress have we made in the mission to secure our country?” I am thrilled to report, building on our tradition, our list of accomplishments continues to grow. This year, GTSC acquired one of the most prestigious voices in homeland security—the Homeland Security Today (HSToday) magazine and media platform. The media hub is now a non-profit voice for the homeland security mission, and we are thrilled with the level of engagement and interest from our members, prestigious partners, and the broader community. GTSC’s vision for this news platform is to make it the source for constructive, collaborative homeland security dialogue, analysis, and news coverage. We aspire to share information that will help state and local governments understand the threats and how to mitigate them, that helps federal officials get their message out in full, and that helps our government partners in all jurisdictions understand the private sector innovations that can help them stay safe and protect our nation. Thank you to everyone who has come out to support the new HSToday with editorial input, ideas, and articles! Please keep them coming! In 2017, GTSC, along with the Non-Commissioned Officers Association, launched a GovCon Academy for transitioning military veterans. Together, GTSC and NCOA will help veterans who want to come back and support the mission of a secure nation by providing them with first-class sessions and seminars about government contracting. GTSC members also participated in an unprecedented number of “Reverse Industry Days” hosted across the government enterprise, starting at the Department of Homeland Security and moving to the Department of Treasury and the General Services Administration. We also launched our GTSC Days website presence to feature our extremely popular and valuable sessions that provide members and community with a “deep-dive” into the components at DHS. And that’s just the NEW stuff! We also continued our traditional programming, bringing you insight into your government partners, the best sessions to prepare your internal capacity to do business, and networking rivalled by no other organization. Membership increased this year by nearly 20% and we’ve seen many more companies devoted to helping our government partners achieve mission join to support GTSC. We are extremely pleased to see that. Overall, 2017 has been a tremendous year made possible by our active, caring, devoted members and our diligent, committed, amazing, government partners. I want to take a moment to thank ALL of the people who throughout the year take time out of their schedules to work on a program with us, to speak to us, to engage in a substantive and meaningful conversation around how we can do better. That essential collaboration is how we work together to ensure that our children are safe and our nation is secure. In the end, “It’s All About Mission.” Are you wearing YOUR button?? Thank you all for your contributions to a tremendous year. We couldn’t do it without you, and we wouldn’t want to.

Yours,

Kristina TanasichukCEO & Founder, GTSC

SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION

ABOUT US

GTSC focuses on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Justice, Defense, State, Treasury and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)(6) trade association of innovative, agile, small and mid-size company CEOs that create, develop, and implement solutions for the Federal homeland and national security sector. These companies founded the Coalition to band together and work with their Federal partners to achieve their mission - despite significant budget challenges - by bringing the innovation, creativity and ingenuity of successful small businesses to the homeland and national security mission. These CEOs -- many former government officials -- joined together to share best practices, information and resources, to lead the initiatives and solutions that would bring the best of our community together to protect our homeland.

OUR VISION IS TO PROVIDE AN ETHICAL, EFFECTIVE PLATFORM FOR INFORMATION EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR ON HOMELAND AND NATIONAL SECURITY IDEAS, TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS.

IT’S ABOUT MISSION. Our Mission is to provide exceptional advocacy, capacity building, partnership opportunities and marketing in the Federal security space for small and mid-sized companies. To do that, we believe that GTSC must help our Federal partners achieve their critical missions with the highest integrity; best and most innovative technologies; and results-based, quality products and services to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from any terrorist attack or natural disaster.

Learn more at www.GTSCoalition.com

OUR PROGRAMMING For the past six years, we have focused on ways to make our members smarter, better and more efficient at their business development, networking, partnering, and teaming. Our programming evolved over time to bring decision makers from our federal partners together with our members to take a “deep dive” into components and directorates so that we could understand the mission from end to end, and the services, technologies and talents that enable that mission to move forward.

GTSC works to educate our members through the following types of sessions:

INSIGHT SESSIONS

The Market Solution Series provides an inside look at creative, successful interactions and challenges that may be impeding growth in the Federal homeland and national security market. These intimate roundtables take members inside the “story” and allow them to understand the market components and forces that result in success. This series was developed in response to members who were interested in creative ways to partner and team to win business with the Federal government.

MARKET SOLUTION

SERIESNo one understands the challenges and unique demands of our market like someone who has grown a successful company in it. CEOs of successful member companies join members to share their insights, lessons learned and advice for others working in the Federal homeland and national security markets.

The GTSC Business Development Exchanges (BDEs) are member-led trusted environments to meet and develop potential teaming partners, improve business development efforts and share information among peers. GTSC currently supports BDEs in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Defense.

CEO-TO-CEOROUNDTABLES

CAPACITYBUILDING

MENTORSESSIONS

GTSC Insight sessions host federal or Congressional officials to discuss challenges in the federal security mission, host workshops on engagement with the Federal customer, and promote the exchange of innovative ideas between the public and private sector.

Every company - small to large - faces a host of growing pains and internal challenges to meet the needs of success. Through exceptional relationships with an A-list of advisors, mentors and luminaries in corporate growth, GTSC hosts hands-on sessions to provide member companies with the best tools available to them to build their internal capacity and further their growth.

Throughout the year, executives from our mentor companies join our members and others from our broader community to share their advice and perspectives on the homeland and national security markets. These sessions provide invaluable insight into how large corporations are positioning themselves in the market, opportunities for teaming and partnership and relationship building between large and small firms.

For six years, the Government Technology & Services Coalition has carefully developed a deep dive into the components and missions of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Since 2011, beginning with our inaugural CBP Day, the model and concept has grown across the Department to offer government and private sector partners an opportunity to understand and tackle critical mission challenges together. An intimate, relaxed environment encourages participants to speak frankly and participate in meaningful exchanges to advance innovation, security best practices, and understand the market dynamics that result in the best products and services being offered to solve the nation’s security needs.

GTSC provides its members with numerous opportunities to have their voices heard on decisions, planning, and operations with our government partners. GTSC actively participates with the mission and procurement officials responsible for the decisions that can make or break your company. We have developed a number of active workgroups:

INDUSTRY OUTREACHAcross government our partners have struggled with finding the appropriate mechanisms to reach out to industry to inform and problem solve. GTSC has worked with companies and agencies to help current and potential government contractors understand their clients and their mission, and with our government partners to find innovative ways to bring their needs to the contracting community.

DEBRIEF ACTION GROUPThe De-Brief Action group has been active since day one. Given a de-brief can make or break your next proposal opportunity, members have taken a special interest and focus in improving the content and timeliness of these important learning experiences. Since its inception the group has helped train Federal officials and in 2016 developed a suggested mock-debrief process.

Debrief Action Group Lead: Andrea Stone, CEO, Dynamic Pro, Inc

DHS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT EXCHANGEOur DHS Business Development Exchange is a focused group that shares information and teams to pursue opportunities at DHS. The purpose is to help GTSC companies active at DHS to be more efficient in their Business Development efforts.

Sara Kindsfater-Yerkes, BluSky Doris Reeves, DAI,

BUSINESS WORKSHOPS FOR GOVERNMENTMeeting with Executive Officials throughout the Federal government, the Government Technology & Services Coalition heard repeatedly that everyone wanted – and needed – a better understanding of the private sector. To that end, GTSC hosts four workshops that provide a mini “MBA” on the lifecycle, process, challenges and decisions that companies face as they enter and grow in the Federal market.

Taught by CEOs and C-suite level executives from the GTSC membership, these workshops increase the understanding and exchange between industry and government. Members of the GTSC’s Lion’s Den were asked to present a 3.5 hour workshop on the mid-tier process before contracting officers at DHS. If you are interested in more information or would like to schedule a workshop, please contact us at: www.GTSCoalition.com

NEW IN 2017: EMERGING SMALL BUSINESS GROUPWe launched our Emerging Small Business Group in April, geared towards companies with a revenue under $2.5 million but open to all our members. The sessions focus on strategic sessions with a small business representative from one of our agencies. The Emerging Small Business Groups welcomes ideas for speakers or topics from its member companies.

Emerging Small Business Group Lead: Earl Holland, Growth Strategy Consultants

MEMBER ENGAGEMENT

ACQUISITION & PROCUREMENT ACTION GROUPOur federal partners face numerous obstacles when buying the things they need, when they need them. Rapidly changing technology, delayed procurements, protests, lack of information sharing, and workforce challenges are just a few of the road blocks. Through the Acquisition & Procurement Action Group, GTSC has been working with the procurement officers within our partner agencies to improve the acquisition and procurement process. This action group focuses on providing member input to improve federal outreach to small and mid-sized businesses and assuring that our members have a seat at the table. Through this group, GTSC members also engaged heavily in the Federal “Reverse-Indsutry-Days” hosted by the Departments of Homeland Security, Treasury, and the General Services Administration. All GTSC members are welcome to participate.

Acquisition & Procurement Action Group Lead: Carolyn Muir, Executive Vice President, SE Solutions

Reverse Industry Day Planning & Participation

GTSC was one of the first industry groups to develop the Reverse Industry Day model with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The forums, meant to educate contracting workforces on business process and decision-making have taken hold across the Federal government and GTSC is one of the leading non-profits assisting the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security, Treasury, State, General Services Administration, Office of Personnel Management, and the U.S. Army. GTSC has developed an amazing cadre of members committed to helping their government partners improve the acquisition and procurement process and assure they get the best of what the private sector has to offer.

This year GTSC has continued our effort to build our community by participating in charity efforts on behalf of homeland security causes. GTSC members came out in force to support the Border Patrol Foundation’s Border Heroes Classic Golf Tournament.

In October we continued our effort for the Border Patrol Foundation, supporting the WHS Cook-Off & STEM expo. This fabulous family fun day is in its seventh year and in 2017 supported the Border Patrol Foundation and the WHS STEM Initiative.

HUGE THANKS to the many GTSC members who supported the WHS expo including: Motorola Solutions Foundation, Capgemini, NTT Data, INTEGRITYOne, E3 Federal Solutions, Grant Thornton, AASKI, TCI, BlueWater Federal, eGlobaltech and ICS Advisory.

Partnership with Non-Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA)NCOA and GTSC partnered on two initiatives this year. In the spring we announced a joint partnership at NCOA’s Annual Conference and Expo in Las Vegas, NV. The organizations will work together to develop expos to meet the needs of transitioning veterans, find and offer training for veterans, and work with GTSC members to identify the skills needed, and jobs available. GTSC will work with its members to identify gaps in their labor pools, strategize on future needs, and work to match appropriate transitioning military personnel with high quality employment.

In July GTSC and NCOA ramped up their partnership and launched the NCOA GovCon Academy, a series of in-person and online courses on Government Contracting for transitioning veterans.

Special thanks to our Strategic Advisors from GTSC that joined the faculty, including: Earl Holland, CEO, Growth Strategy Consultants Amy McDougal, CEO, CleaResourcesJackie Santisteban, President, Government Sales Advisors

In GTSC’s third annual Personnel Security Forum hosted with the Industrial Security Working Group and InfraGardNCR, Chief Security Officers from across the department joined us to discuss their security processes, how to make this process more efficient, and fielded questions from the audience.

NIST CYBER SECURITY FRAMEWORKGTSC and the GovCon SIG of InfraGardNCR hosted a Cyber Capacity Building session to focus on the NIST Cyber Security Framework and how to improve small business cyber practices.

Bill FannelliChief Security OfficerU.S. Better Business Bureau

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) distilled the essence of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) into a training program for small and mid-size businesses called 5 Steps to Better Business Cybersecurity. GTSC hosted the session to help companies protect their clients, and enterprise, through the 5-Steps approach that moves the focus from building higher fences to a comprehensive approach based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework functional areas – Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.

EXPANDING OUR VOICE: THE ACQUISITION OF

IN OCTOBER 2017, GTSC ACQUIRED HOMELAND SECURITY TODAY MAGAZINE AND MEDIA PLATFORM. GTSC acquired HSToday to put real facts and analysis in context to tell the stories of homeland security in a way no other outlet can.

Since 2004, HSToday has been an essential resource and news platform for the homeland security community, catering to: professionals within the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies with homeland security responsibilities like the FBI, ODNI, Treasury etc.; state and local law enforcement and emergency responders; members of the Intelligence Community; legislators, policymakers and regulators; professionals, business leaders and analysts in the private, nonprofit and academic sectors. Going forward, HSToday will continue to offer coverage on pressing homeland security issues, drawing on unbiased writing, expert voices and a commitment to collaboration with the security community.

The new HSToday will focus on telling the whole story and particularly articulate the challenges faced by the Department of Homeland Security, Justice, and others engaged in the work of securing the nation. Rather than overworked generalist reporters struggling to cover the most superficial homeland issues, we are a collection of subject matter experts embracing a culture of objectivity to deliver real news value to our colleagues in the homeland security community.

The new focus is on security practitioners and analysts, not journalists.

With this new concept, GTSC’s HSToday will deliver trusted, nuanced writing informed by named sources at the highest levels of government, leaders throughout the private sector, and other professionals engaged in the homeland security mission. HSToday articles will cover: federal efforts, outreach, plans and activities to secure the homeland; analysis on homeland security industry achievements, ideas and opportunities; and rich writing and reporting on the complex, challenging issues related to guarding against and responding to threats natural and manmade.

The Government Technology & Services Coalition’s Homeland Security Today (HSToday) is now the premier news and information resource for the homeland security community, dedicated to elevating the discussions and insights that can support a safe and secure nation. A non-profit magazine and media platform, HSToday provides readers with the whole story, placing facts and comments in context to inform debate and drive realistic solutions to some of the nation’s most vexing security challenges. HSToday’s contributors and editors hail from throughout the homeland security community. They are the thinkers and doers who shape and implement the United States’ security methodologies, strategies and tactics.

GTSC is home to the Lion’s Den, a distinguished cadre of mid-sized companies devoted to the homeland and national security market. Their success, the result of exceptional work for their clients and their outstanding business acumen, has graduated them to “other than small” status in the federal market. This designation creates new and difficult challenges for mid-sized companies now ineligible for set-asides and facing intense competition from very large companies. The Lion’s Den is focused on creating and supporting programs, policies, and ventures to support the continuum of growth from small to mid-sized through partnership, advocacy, and increased business opportunities.
