EOIR conducts over 1,000 new immigration review hearings per month.  The qualified, ambitious, and experienced personnel throughout NCC’s Multimedia and Production Solutions (MPS) division will collaborate to meet the logistical challenge of producing a significant volume of transcription work on behalf of EOIR each and every day, just as we have done and continue to do for clients such as the Social Security Administration (SSA) Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) and the Montgomery County Circuit Court .  Specifically, NCC anticipates delivering over 100,000 pages of transcribed material in total on a monthly basis.  In addition, NCC will facilitate a gradual transition by EOIR to the use of an electronic system for distribution of source audio and transcript delivery while transcribing an existing backlog of older EOIR hearings recorded on physical cassette tapes.

NCC’s relationship with DOJ began in 2007 through support of the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), for which we have provided years of multimedia services.  As we do our part to assist EOIR in achieving its institutional mission to adjudicate immigration cases by fairly, expeditiously, and uniformly interpreting and administering the nation’s immigration laws, we are happy to expand our relationship with DOJ.  We trust that by delivering a better service experience, we will foster a long-term and mutually rewarding partnership with EOIR.

Our Audiovisual and Technology Solutions (AVTS) team will remove older AV and video teleconference (VTC) equipment and install state-of-the-art user-friendly technology in two conference rooms located in the Pentagon.  We will upgrade and streamline EITSD’s AV capabilities to enable digital connectivity and high definition video teleconferencing.  Additionally, we will perform upgrades to the Directorate’s projection and microphone systems, as well as its secure/unsecure network switching capabilities.  Our efficient installation will facilitate accessible system control and operation, and ensure clear, highly intelligible speech from remote VTC participants.

Since 2006, NCC has proudly supported WHS, and we have earned the organization’s trust with our dedication to providing first-rate AV integration, installation, and maintenance for more than 15 rooms within the Pentagon Conference Center and several projects within the National Capital Region.  Furthermore, our Conference and Peer Review Management Services (CPRM) team has provided event support for numerous WHS functions, including the Congressional Medal of Honor Ceremony in February and the Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Memorial Service in May 2012.

NCC is excited at the opportunity to build on its longstanding relationship with WHS, as we continue to strive to create a better experience for our clients and deliver a GOOD future.

Promoted by Arlington Transportation Partners, the annual Walk@Lunch event is designed to complement the busy lifestyle of many Arlington-based employees.  With health care costs continuing to rise, employers are motivated to assist employees in increasing their own physical health and fitness.  Walking is a great reminder that the road to better health is one step at a time.

NCC makes a pit stop in Ballston during the Walk@Lunch

NCC employees share a commitment to physical fitness, as evidenced by our collective achievements in our own annual Get Fit Challenge.  Last year we were thrilled to rack up 5,000 total miles by walking, jogging, biking, swimming, and canoeing; this year we are pushing ourselves to hit 6,000 during the most active months of the year.  We encourage our team members (and all of our readers) to get a head start by registering for the BbG 10th Anniversary 5K Obstacle Race on May 4, with all profits going to AFAC, or by participating in Bike to Work day on May 17.  Improving and maintaining physical health is just one way we can ensure we’re around to deliver a good future for our customers and our community.

Hero Dogs is a Maryland-based 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 2009, that focuses its efforts on raising, training, and placing service dogs with disabled military veterans, at no cost to the veteran.  Each service dog, donated by local breeders, lives with volunteer raisers and is trained to assist veterans with disabilities in sessions conducted by experienced instructors over a rigorous two-year training period.

We launched our partnership with Hero Dogs in March 2012 when President and Founder Jennifer Lund and board member Ilene Glassman brought canine ambassadors Ike and Teddy to our headquarters where they provided an overview of the organization and showed us many of the tasks these specially-trained dogs will be able to perform.  Our first sponsored puppy, Ulysses S.“Grant,” joined Hero Dogs in April 2012 and we are all excited as he wraps up his time with his puppy raisers this June.

Our employees look forward to a visit by our Hero Dogs to our offices at the end of May, as we will meet Calvin for the first time and see Grant show off all his new skills before he begins his advanced training at the Hero Dogs’ facility to prepare for placement with his veteran.

As a company that is committed to facilitating and increasing accessibility of communication for the disabled, NCC is proud is continue our strong partnership with Hero Dogs.  We look forward to tracking both Calvin and Grant’s progress during their training as they work their way up to living with and assisting deserving veterans.

NCC’s Multimedia and Production Solutions (MPS) associate arrived early at the hotel on all three days of the conference to set up recording equipment and prepare for the note-taking that would enable our team to generate and deliver verbatim transcripts of record to the NRC one week after the conclusion of the RIC.

NCC recorded and transcribed NRC Chairman Allison Macfarlane’s and all commissioners’ speeches; technical sessions, including those focused on emergency preparedness and spent fuel safety; and panel discussions made up of NRC staff and industry representatives.

The RIC provides an opportunity for members of the nuclear industry, advocacy groups, and the general public to stay current on the latest NRC regulatory activities, ask questions, and provide feedback to the commission.  The transcripts NCC generated were made available for review on NRC’s website shortly after the RIC’s conclusion[LE1] .

NCC has provided the NRC with on-site captioning; transcription; and DVD authoring services since 2010.  In the immediate aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear disaster in 2011, NCC was there to provide real-time captioning and transcripts of record for a critical meeting that followed; we did the same for Ms. Macfarlane’s first meeting in June 2012 as Chairman of the Commission.

We are proud to again support NRC’s RIC with high quality captioning and transcription, and we look forward to providing this significant agency with these services at this conference, along with the numerous Commission meetings and public meetings that we continually support, for years to come.

NCC was a Welcome Reception Sponsor for the Children’s Inn Gala

Twelve-hundred people attended this year’s Gala, which was emceed by Cokie Roberts of ABC News and NPR, and featured speeches by Gala chair Diane Pearson; NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins; and Avery Ayan and Zach Peters, two residents of the Children’s Inn.  There was a live auction which included vacations to Italy, Argentina, and Chile, as well as two quilts featuring Inn-inspired designs; the silent auction featured a New Orleans Jazz and Dining Experience, and a NASCAR Racing Experience.  While the gala activities also included dinner, dancing, and raffles, the focus of the evening remained raising money and awareness for the Children’s Inn’s mission of keeping “children together with their families during serious illness, reducing their stress, and facilitating healing through mutual support.”

We were thrilled to attend and sponsor the 2013 Children’s Inn Gala, and we look forward to participating in this important event in the future.  As a provider of real-time captioning, transcription, webcasting, conference planning, audiovisual, and information technology services to the NIH for more than a decade, we are appreciative of the opportunity to facilitate the organization turning research into actual treatments.  It is our privilege and honor to play a small role in creating a better experience for the many children and families that visit The Children’s Inn each year, and who are playing hugely significant roles in furthering scientific research and discoveries that will benefit us all.
