On the one hand, not a long time to gauge the merger of two established entities; on the other, a time to be proud of the accomplishments the new part- nership has realized in this short period of time. Our evolution as an Office has not been completely smooth sailing by any stretch of the imagination. We have experienced growing pains throughout the pro- cess in the form of reorganizations (some more than twice), name changes (some more than once), and mergers within Groups. We have been tasked repeatedly to do more with less, and then asked to continue to do better with what was left. Our accomplishments speak vol- umes for the work we do every day to support the Agency's mission. Protective Services Group's I-Team improved the way the Security Pro- tective Service (SPS) functions and is managed. Facilities Management Group reorganized to better meet the challenges of the future. Printing & Photography Group continues to set the standard for producing qual- ity products and is recognized as a leader in their field. The Analysis and Policy Center, through the establishment of Red Team Surveys, provides service to our varied cus- tomers in the Community. Security Services Group has upgraded secu- rity The SPS Officers are on the line day-in-and-day-out. Our employ- ees, more than any other Office, touch the lives of every Agency employee, every single day. We have begun to come together as an Office; however, we cannot rest on our laurels. On the horizon we will be challenged to continu- ously improve the way we do busi- ness. Activity Based Costing will require us to identify our current costs, then reduce our costs in order to be competitive. Our resources are becoming scarce. We are continuously asked to take additional cuts; yet our customers are demanding the same, if not bet- ter, services and products from us. Change will be a way of life for us and we must step up to meet the challenges of the future. The future is now! I can guarantee you three things: more meaningful work, lots and lots of opportunities, and more change. Congratulations to all on a reward- ing first two years, and I look for- ward to the challenges of the future.
