ROCKVILLE, MD., February 8, 2010 George Simonds, a Senior Project Manager for MAR's Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Consolidated Information System Security Services (CISSS) contract, wrote an article that was recently published on January 26, 2010 by Network-Centric Security magazine. Click for article

The article titled Nuclear Protection: A look at how the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is leading efforts to protect power plants against cyber attacks recounts the challenges and events that led to the development of NRC Regulatory Guide 5.71, Cyber Security Programs for Nuclear Facilities. Regulatory Guide 5.71 provides a clear and consistent method to implement the requirements of 10 CFR 73.54 and to provide effective protection against cyber attacks. George led a team of MAR cyber security analysts in supporting the NRC's Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR) Division's development of official guidance aimed at providing nuclear licensees with greater clarity as to what NRC is looking for in plant-specific cyber security programs.

We want to congratulate George and his team for their dedication in assisting our NRC customer in development and release of this important guide.

Rockville, MD., August 12, 2008 MAR, Incorporated (MAR) is pleased to announce the success of our Intern Seminar Day! We have found that the key to our success is recruiting employees that we know through friends and family. Some of our best hires have been interns hired right out of high school and college. It is natural that young folks often need the right environment and mentoring to start their careers. That is why MAR developed a training program for our young folks to teach them key business concepts such as "can-do" attitude, networking, office etiquette and politics, conduct with peers and customers, decision making etc. Vice President of Human Resources and Administration Laura Evans stated, "MAR is in the people business! It is our responsibility to train and educate our employees and give them the skills to succeed in the workplace."

The Business of Doing Business Seminar was held on Friday, August 12, 2008 at MAR's corporate headquarters. It started with the interns playing a game called Life--a game that demonstrates real decisions one might be faced with during their lifetime. After each group completed their "game", it was time to get down to business.

When you think of the word "seminar" one may think long lectures and monotone voices, but not this seminar! Mike Norcio, MAR Chairman and CEO, started off the morning by entering the room wearing baggy sweats and a backwards hat. His behavior was kind of odd for him, he was chewing gum and blasting the latest hip-hop jams from his IPOD! That is when everyone knew this was not going to be your ordinary seminar. This, he said, was an example of "first impressions" which would go along with the rest of the days topics presented through group discussion, quizzes, PTI (Pardon the Interruption) format, question and answers, skits, etc. Different topics were lead by various Senior Executive Managers of MAR, people that could pass on their wisdom to the new "business generation".

Overall, the seminar was a huge success, not just because there was pizza and ice cream served, but because the interns came out with knowledge that took some years to learn. The knowledge that with a little effort and believing in yourself you can make your future as bright as you want!
