REI Systems Expands Partnership with GWU to Enhance Public Service Innovation
REI Systems, a leading provider of technology solutions for government entities, enhances its commitment to public service through a strategic partnership with George Washington University's (GWU) Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration. This collaboration positions REI as the lead sponsor for the upcoming 76th annual Arthur S. Flemming Awards, a prestigious event that recognizes twelve outstanding federal employees for their significant contributions to public service. Scheduled for November 2, 2025, at the National Academy of Sciences Building in Washington, DC, the ceremony will honor recipients who have excelled in areas such as victim compensation for terrorism, military space operations, and Alzheimer's research.
REI's Chief Growth Officer, Wagish Bhartiya, emphasizes the company's excitement about the collaboration, highlighting a shared vision for improving government effectiveness and innovation. The Flemming Awards, which have celebrated notable figures like Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Neil Armstrong since 1948, serve as an important platform for recognizing the impact of public servants. Bhartiya's remarks reflect a commitment to fostering a culture of innovation within public service, aligning with REI's broader mission to implement effective solutions in governance.
In addition to sponsoring the awards, REI introduces the "REImagining Government" lecture series as part of this partnership. This initiative aims to bring influential government leaders and researchers together to discuss relevant topics in governance and the role of artificial intelligence in modern administration. Kathy Newcomer, Director of the Trachtenberg School, commends REI's dedication to enhancing trust and innovation in public service, further solidifying the collaboration's potential to influence everyday governmental practices. Together, REI and GWU will also continue their long-standing Grants Management Survey and host Breakfast Forum events, ensuring ongoing dialogue around critical issues in government.
