Arc Aspicio Supports Anti-Human Trafficking Non-Profit Organization 

Washington, DC, February 14, 2017 — Arc Aspicio started a pro bono project for Courtney’s House, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the victims and survivors of human trafficking. Arc Aspicio supports Courtney’s House on their priority needs.

The partnership, which started in October 2016, includes an extensive strategy for communications, fundraising, and volunteer coordination. This streamlines Courtney’s House day-to-day business activities and extends the non-profit’s outreach to communities and survivors.

“The partnership with Courtney’s House was a natural fit for us and we are excited to continue making an impact on the fight against human trafficking,” says Despina Panagoulias, an Arc Aspicio manager leading the pro bono project. “Refreshing their website, establishing a better social media presence, and organizing their fundraising and volunteer outreach means that Courtney’s House has a greater ability to save lives and spread the word about the dangers of human trafficking.”

The pro bono support that Arc Aspicio provides for Courtney’s House aligns closely with the company’s mission. Arc Aspicio is devoted to the fight against human trafficking, and the company continues to pursue projects supporting this mission. Arc Aspicio won the GovCon Program of the Year Award for their data analytics project combating human trafficking in 2014.

Pro bono work is part of a broad community involvement strategy that has previously included work with the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation and the Central Union Mission in Washington, D.C.

Enhancing Homeland Security Operations with GenAI

Every month, artificial intelligence (AI) increases in both popularity and capability. AI refers to a computer’s ability to perform automated tasks in a manner that mimics human intelligence. In today’s fast-paced environment, AI provides Federal agencies with a solution to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks (e.g., data entry and analysis) to prioritize complex, mission-critical work.

Why Lasting Collaboration is Key for Effective AI Regulation

Why Lasting Collaboration is Key for Effective AI Regulation

With the advent of generative AI and the explosion of data privacy, bias, and other concerns, the need for effective AI regulation is becoming increasingly important.

The Federal Government and private sector already have an interest in working together to create strong regulations. The private sector’s knowledge and flexibility provides innovative solutions to the Federal Government, while rigid Federal regulations reduce the likelihood that tech companies will invest in products that could be regulated out of existence.

Telling Stories with Data

In today’s fast-paced world, where information overload is the norm, effective data storytelling is essential for Government agencies to interpret complex datasets and clearly communicate insights to policy makers and stakeholders. Agencies like Homeland Security are tasked with enhancing their decision-making and information capabilities to fulfill their missions, report to Congress, and engage with citizens.
