The addition of these new sustaining members continues USGIF’s trend of rapid growth that began when it launched in January 2004.
“We are pleased to welcome these new members to our foundation,” said K. Stuart Shea, chairman of the board of directors, USGIF. “Our goal is to help ensure that their important contributions to our tradecraft will have even more of an impact on our country’s national and homeland security because of their involvement in the USGIF.”
