among the
participants. Other than myself, there will not be any management personnel present. I will try to
address all your questions but hope you can appreciate that I may be limited in some areas on what I can
openly discuss or share. By the time we wrap up I would like to talk about actions that could be taken to
move the needle and what it would take to do so as well as how long it may take. With that,

Michael H joined AP&T Contracts in March 2012 as a transfer from
B-2 and JSF Subcontracts, and is a tremendous addition to our staff. He
manages a large portfolio of contracts and proposals across the Directed Energy
(DE) and the Research and Technology (R&T) business areas in Redondo
Beach, CA. In addition, Michael volunteered for temporary relocation to
Melbourne, Florida to support the CRH proposal last Fall. Michael was selected
as NGAS Contracts Employee of the Month in January 2013.
Mary Ann was hired into TRW Defense Systems Subcontracts on 16 August
1982. April 2008, she was hired by Alita Berger, NSD Directorate Business
Manager; then by Jeff C, NSDD IWO Homeroom. November 2010, Ann S asked
Mary Ann to cover the desk of Gloria W while an issue regarding Gloria’s
retirement was resolved. After 2 months of horrendous work conditions, instead
of training someone else to take over the SSSD Contract Director’s Admin’s
desk, Mary Ann took the position. And, just like a fairytale, Mary Ann is living a
HAPPY EVER AFTER career before retirement
