Tech USA’s employees participate in The Rescue Run 5K. It is  Philly’s first race to benefit and promote rescue and adoption.  Annually in the Fall, hundreds of runners gather at the Navy Yard to race in honor of the dogs we love so much.  Numerous rescue groups and shelters attend the Rescue Rally following the race.  Racers, spectators, family and friends are able to meet furry friends for adoption and get more information about volunteering with local animal shelters.  Proceeds go to continuing the mission of The Monster Milers, Philly’s shelter dog running and rescue, 501c3 non-profit volunteer group.

Tech USA is a proud member of the Founder’s Group of The Cyber Center of Excellence, home of the National Cryptologic Museum (NCM). The NCM is a private-public partnership of the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation (NCMF) and National Security Agency (NSA), and is the first public museum in the U.S. Intelligence Community. The NCMF educates through preserving cryptologic history, stimulates through promoting cybersecurity awareness and innovation, and commemorates through honoring cryptologic contributions.

The NCMF partnership team envisions a Cyber Center of Excellence as an integrated multi-purpose facility with a Cyber Education and Outreach Center as a nexus for the regional cyber economy. This “gateway to the future” will leverage cybersecurity work of NSA, industry and academia, and will enable all levels of government and strategic partners to better protect the nation’s critical information networks. Harnessing the expertise of the NSA and Maryland’s industrial and academic base will provide enhanced technical training and regional job creation for a growing cyber workforce.
