Corporate Citizenship

At Telos, corporate citizenship is a natural extension of our business philosophy.  We are passionate about leading the way.  Through active partnerships in education, community involvement and philanthropy, our efforts are making a difference.

Support for our military
Because we work side-by-side with our military customers every day, we have a special appreciation for the sacrifices made by those who wear our country’s uniform.   Although our products and services enhance their mission effectiveness around the world every day, Telos employees do not stop there – we show our appreciation in a deeper way by supporting those causes that matter most to our customers.

Telos is a proud supporter of the AFCEA’s Tampa-St. Pete Pelican Chapter scholarship fund, hosting a charity golf tournament to kick off our annual Security Solutions conference, to aid the chapter as they assist students in technology education programs.

The company is also a proud supporter of Loudoun County’s own National Guard troops, who recently returned from Iraq.

Technology education
As a technology company, Telos has a special interest in science and technology education. We are keenly aware of the need to ensure the children of our community are excited about the possibilities of a career in technology, and have the tools they need to succeed. 

Telos is committed to ensuring tomorrow’s workforce has the training it needs to succeed in the 21st Century work place.  The company is an active member of the Loudoun County School-Business Partnership Executive Committee, and has a formal school-business partnership with C.S. Monroe Technology Center, providing information technology curriculum development, internships and other real-world learning opportunities to students across the county.  Recently, the Virginia Board of Education decided to establish a Governor’s Career and Technical Academy program at Monroe, which will include an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.  This designation came about as the result of a planning partnership between Loudoun County Public Schools, several local universities and a plethora of Loudoun businesses, including Telos. 

Community
Telos CEO John Wood has said it many times: he wants to make Loudoun County the best place to live and work in America.

That dedication trickles down to every level of the company.  At the executive level, Telos’ leaders are out in front, inspiring the local business community to improve the quality of life for all in the county.  They tackle macro issues such as transportation, affordable housing, education and virtual congestion by serving in leadership roles at the Loudoun County Economic Development Committee, the Loudoun CEO Cabinet and Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce. 

Telos employees know that every contribution makes a difference in the quality of life in each of their communities.  That’s why you’ll find them giving their time to a variety of programs as diverse as they are…from reading to students in their community schools to coaching local sports teams to volunteering in faith-based organizations. 

Project Rebirth
The mission of Project Rebirth is to chronicle the strength of the human spirit in the aftermath of 9/11.  The project will document the reconstruction of the World Trade Center site in a feature-length film using time-lapsed photography and the personal stories of 10 individuals as they cope with the aftermath of the disaster.  This will ensure that people today and in future generations can experience the rebuilding process, and learn from our nation’s resilience. 

The proceeds of the film will be reinvested in the Project Rebirth Center, which will help meet an urgent need for improved care and support for victims of and first responders to future disasters of all kinds, man-made or natural.

Telos Chairman and CEO John Wood, a Project Rebirth board member, has been an active supporter of the project from its inception, and Telos is proud to be a sponsor of this undertaking.
