Congratulations to the Special Olympics South Carolina on the grand opening of their new state office in Lexington, SC.

Their new 12,000 sqft facility centralizes many of the activities and equipment used across the state and opens immense new possibilities for collaboration, training, and development.

Yesterday’s ceremony was followed by an open house for the community to see the impact of this amazing organization. This achievement is a vital step forward in their mission to provide top-notch services and opportunities to more than 30,000 athletes across the state.

As dedicated statewide sponsors, we’re honored to be more than just a donor; our team eagerly participates in key events such as Polar Plunges, Bocce Bashes, and Gala fundraisers.

We’re eager to continue our collaboration with Special Olympics South Carolina as they embark on this exciting new chapter from their Lexington home.

We had an incredible evening at the March of Dimes Signature Chef Kickoff Party at Cannon Green in downtown Charleston! As proud corporate sponsors of the upcoming Signature Chefs Auction in November, our team was honored to learn more about the vital mission of March of Dimes, connect with fellow sponsors, and meet this year’s ambassador family.

We’re thrilled to share that March of Dimes raised an impressive $5,400 through raffle ticket sales, all of which will support the health of moms and babies.

A special shoutout to our Atlas team members Yakisha Bookard, Brian Miller, Jonelle Hair, Star Ross, John Jones, and Edward Copes for their dedication to this important cause. We’re excited to continue our efforts and look forward to the main event in November!

Atlas Tech's Positive Impact Team in Alexandria was honored to participate and support in the 16th Annual Taylor Cain Classic Golf Tournament on August 16th.

It was a beautiful day, made even more special by Olivia, Kimberly McCormack's granddaughter, who helped raise an additional $1,348 in "donations" from generous golfers. A big thank you to Todd Osborne and Kwabena Peltier for representing Atlas on the course and to Kimberly and her family for helping prepare 190 goodie bags for participants.

Atlas volunteers—Candy Maki, Sherri Rosh*tsh, Scott Charters, Yakisha Bookard, and Ed Copes—helped distribute essential food items to over 150 families, feeding more than 500 people. They worked hard to ensure stations were fully stocked and assisted those in need with carrying their groceries.

We're thrilled to announce the promotion of Jessica Fletcher from Contracts Manager to Director of Contracts.

In her new role, Jess will lead our contract and subcontract administration teams, as well as oversee our industrial security operations. She brings a sharp eye for detail and a passion for process improvement, positioning her to drive even greater success at Atlas Tech.

Originally from Florida, Jess moved to Charleston in 2007, where she double majored in Business Administration and Economics at the College of Charleston. She then went on to earn her J.D. from Florida State University College of Law. As a member of the South Carolina Bar, Jess initially planned to focus on Environmental law, but then found her true calling in government contracting, leading her to where she is today.

Beyond her role at Atlas Tech, Jess is an active member of the NIWC Atlantic Contracts Industry Council, working to bridge the gap between industry and government to solve challenges and achieve common goals.

“Over her nearly five years with Atlas, Jess has consistently demonstrated her expertise and dedication. Her promotion to Director is a testament to the significant impact she’s had on our team and the confidence we have in her leadership,” says CEO, Brian Miller.

Please join us in congratulating Jess Fletcher on her well-deserved promotion! We’re excited about the positive impact she will continue to make within the Atlas Tech community. 🎉

🎒✨ Atlas Tech, with help from our Morale Committee and Positive Impact Team, recently donated gently used backpacks and new school supplies to The Citadel Veteran Student Success Center.

Thanks to our Team Members who traded in their older, gently used backpacks, we were able to donate 20 backpacks along with some boxes of school supplies that will support some of the 300 veterans and 40 active-duty students as they transition from military to civilian life. Each year, the center assists around 700 students, including those using their parents' GI Bill.

Melissa West, Associate Director of the Veteran Success Center, expressed her gratitude, noting how these contributions ease financial pressures for students pursuing their degrees.

We're proud to give back to those who have served our nation.
