We have talent, but that’s only half the tale. The skill—honed through dedication and grit—is the driving force of the narrative. Our world-class workforce gives the Maryland National Capital Region a clear competitive edge. Home to one of the most educated populations in the country and sought-after professional, scientific, tech and health care talent, our people are celebrated for being the smartest (and naturally the coolest) in their fields. Whether they’re providing intelligence to support the mission or igniting it in the classroom, our people are the cornerstone of our success.
