Welcome
to
newsmakers
this
edition
celebrates
women's
history
month
and
the
annual
women
of
vision
awards
and
the
opening
of
a
new
shared
school
county
government
network
operations
center.
First,
though,
we
attended
the
proclamation
ceremony
declaring
march,
including
people
with
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities
month.

This
event
that
we're
celebrating
today
really
is
a
good
example
of
the
kind
of
work
that
arlington
county
and
arlington
public
schools
have
been
doing
together
for
a
number
of
years
now
to
try
and
collaborate
wherever
we
can
in
ways
that
number
one
improve
the
delivery
of
the
services
that
each
of
us
are
responsible
for,
but
also
achieve
efficiencies
and
economies,
to
get
a
better
value
for
the
dollar.

It
is
a
very
collaborative
facility.
It
was
once
upon
a
time
the
space
you're
in
right
now
was
used
to
do
maintenance
on
school
buses.
So
the
facility
has
now
been
transformed
from
a
garage
like
a
jiffy
lube
kind
of
configuration
to
a
state-of-the-art
network
operations
center
that
both
the
county
and
the
schools
can
share.
H

We
worked
really
closely
together
to
get
it
to
this
point
and
staff
took
it
from
there
and
did
a
magnificent
job
and
it's
a
perfect
example
of
something
that
makes
sense
and
was
easier
for
us
to
do,
because
we
work
together
on
so
many
other
projects.

Behind
me,
you
see
the
public
safety
racks
and,
frankly,
this
is
going
to
be
the
back
up
to
our
ecc
911
capability,
with
some
of
it
that
that
equipment
will
be
sitting
in
here.
That
means
a
lot.
Schools
are
going
to
put
equipment
in
here
we're
going
to
put
our
equipment
in
and
there's
still
space
to,
add,
more
so
kudos
to
the
schools
and
to
the
counties
and
both
staffs
that
work
very
hard
to
make
this
happen,
we're
delighted
that
we're
continuing
our
collaboration.

No,
I
think
it's
great,
I
think
it's
fantastically
referred
to
as
a
recycled
building,
because
I
really
think
it
is
a
recycled
building
and
it's
just
it's
really
smart
to
do,
and
I
think
you
talk
about
the
cooperation
and
it's
we're
working
together.
But
it's
because
we
both
work
for
the
citizens
of
arlington
and
we.
