medalsAn organization that represents small- and medium-sized businesses in the homeland and national security markets recognized Harris Corp. and Agilex for their work in the sectors at a ceremony held Tuesday in Arlington, Virginia at the U.S. Navy League.

The Government Technology & Services Coalition says it gives its Annual Awards to people and firms that focus on “working to improve how the public and private sector collaborate, assuring that innovation and efficiencies can find their way into the government and encouraging an environment of mentorship in support of the nation’s critical homeland and national security missions.”

Harris Corp. landed the Mentor of the Year award, which recognizes the receiving company for its efforts to increase small business participation in the homeland and national security markets through formal and informal mentoring initiatives.
