Community Partnership – KeyLogic Gives Back
Since our founding, KeyLogic’s management has realized that it needs to play a positive role in communities; locally and globally. Our shared values are the spirit of our corporate culture, driven by a deeper understanding of what we do as a company and how it affects the world around us. One of those shared values is “value others and their contributions” which is demonstrated in our approach to community service.
At KeyLogic, we believe that our greatest asset is our people and the communities in which they live and work. Our management and staff are dedicated to supporting these communities. Our employees are the backbone of our civic efforts, and they devote time, materials, and talent to various causes. Our employees feel compelled to serve their communities and are supported through our corporate commitment of “giving back”. Throughout the year, KeyLogic employees “give back” with their time, their professional skills, their passion, and their hearts and we have provided examples of just that below.
KeyLogic Supports Our Worldwide Community Through Our Team at DISA
A devastating earthquake crippled the nation of Haiti in January 2010; however the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has been working with U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) to provide the necessary non-classified communications and information-sharing network to help relieve the Haitian suffering. Onsite at DISA, KeyLogic Technical Director Betty Carey and Senior Program Management Specialist Susan Davis work with the Chief Technology Office on the Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation (TISC) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) for which DISA serves as both technical and transition manager.
KeyLogic Helps Celebrate Earth Day with Local Students
In honor of the 40th Earth Day celebration, KeyLogic held a poster contest for fifth grade students at Ridgedale Elementary School in Morgantown, WV, near the corporate headquarters. Jeremy Clawges won the contest and his poster was made into a t-shirt.
“I just hope this event would make an impression on them that Earth Day is important and they have an important part to do, protect the Earth, and keep the environment clean,” said KeyLogic Executive Director Carey Butler, who serves as Program Manager on the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Project Execution and Integration (PEI) contract.
Book Drive Held to Support Troops
Following the success of previous corporate book drives, KeyLogic held another book drive recently to support our troops serving overseas. Through these various drives, the company was able to send numerous boxes of new and used books, magazines, journals, DVDs, and CDs to our troops serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Wounded Warriors Drive Successful
KeyLogic sponsored a successful drive to collect international phone cards for The Wounded Warriors located at Walter Reed Medical Center’s Warrior Transition Brigade in Washington, DC. The program supports soldiers recovering from wounds received during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
KeyLogic Proudly Supports Schools and Communities
President/CEO Jon Hammock and KeyLogic are proud of their involvement in the community and giving back to schools in both West Virginia and Ghana. KeyLogic donated time, talent, and treasure to two separate playground projects – One at the Watson Elementary School in Fairmont, WV and the other at the Davis Creek Elementary School in Barboursville, WV. The projects brought together the community and provide the neighborhood children with nice, safe places to play
Five students from a school in the West African nation of Ghana have been supported by KeyLogic throughout their education and have recently graduated. The sponsorship began in 2004 and has been a constant source of pride and joy for all involved to watch these five students grow over the years.
Community Blood Drives Held at Corporate Offices
KeyLogic hosted American Red Cross blood drives at its corporate offices in Morgantown, WV and Columbia, MD to support the organization at the time of year when blood supplies are generally at their lowest, most critical levels.
