Team IIa Supports Iraqi Elementary School

Oak Ridge, TN.— As a natural extension of Information International Associates’ philanthropic focus on literacy and life-long learning, IIa and its partners in Team IIa-Oak Ridge have reached out to school children in Baghdad. The elementary school has been adopted by U.S. soldiers serving in the area. In February, local employees from team partners IIa, NCI, and ARTI gathered a broad array of school supplies for both the students and the teachers, from crayons, modeling clay, and construction paper to notebooks, scissors, and glue.

Several members of the Team IIa extended family have served in Iraq. Two of Cheryl Beams three sons (Joshua and Steve) have completed tours in Iraq. Son Steve was redeployed March 4 for his second tour. Both Sean Beyer, son of David Bachor, and Luis Cotto, son-in-law of Pat Powell, have completed tours in Iraq.

Team IIa-Oak Ridge is comprised of Information International Associates, NCI Information Systems, ARTI, and Raytheon. It is an integrated team of companies specializing in information technology support for the federal government, particularly the Department of Energy. Core competencies include enterprise IT management, cyber security, information management and security, systems and software development, and general IT services.
