October has been an exciting Employee Ownership Month at #Technomics! Throughout the month, we celebrated what it means to be in a high-performing employee-owned company, bringing our employee-owners together to learn, connect, and celebrate EO culture. We enjoyed friendly competition at Topgolf, a happy hour at Banditos Tacos & Tequila, and several great Learn at Lunches focused on what it means to be an employee-owner at Technomics! 🎉 #EmployeeOwnershipMonth #EO

This past weekend, we kicked off Employee Ownership Month with our Annual Fall Family Picnic! 🎉 We had a great time with our employee-owners and their families, complete with bouncy castles, a visit from the Mister Softee ice cream truck, and catering from Rocklands BBQ! We have a great Employee-Owner Month in store, filled with more events and celebrations. Here’s to the fun ahead! #employeeowned #EOmonth

At Technomics, we believe that investing in the future means investing in our youth. Since 2021, the Technomics Reach Scholarship program has provided need-based STEM scholarships to seniors at Alexandria City High School, making a real impact on the lives of local students. To date, we’ve proudly awarded $144,000 to nine deserving students, helping them pursue their dreams in STEM fields. By supporting students from a variety of different backgrounds in our community, we strive to address the critical need for diversity in our industry and foster a more inclusive future in STEM. 🔬 Just as Technomics has managed to grow every year, we want to grow the number for worthy students we support and/or the size of each scholarship. This year, we have raised our fundraising target. To help us reach or exceed our goal, we can use your help. Please consider donating whatever amount you are comfortable with to the Technomics Reach Scholarship program via Venmo: @technomics_give Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these students and in the future of our community.
