The Washington SCIP serves as a common reference for all stakeholders to use as a current source of information about the status of statewide communications interoperability. The process employed to produce this plan followed a bottom-up approach that sought out the input and advice of the state’s first responder and emergency response communities. It is the intent of the statewide strategic planning effort to provide an ongoing opportunity for all local, tribal, federal, and non-governmental public safety and emergency responder agencies to share their communications needs, discuss mutual solutions, share successful implementations, and collaborate. Subsequent versions of the Washington SCIP will set new objectives, implement interoperability solutions, and measure progress toward achievement of a highly efficient and cost effective means of statewide interoperability. The Washington SCIP is written to address the criteria1 for interoperability plans established by the U.S.

    WANADA Bulletin # 4-20 February 26, 2020 In Memoriam: Archie Avedisian 2020 Washington Auto Show Draws Big Crowds Thank You to Those Who Made the 2020 Washington Auto Show Possible Georgetown Nurse Wins Hyundai Hands on Hope Contest WANADA Identity Theft Prevention Seminar Educates Dealers on How to Prevent Fraud Regional Dealer Association Leaders Gather in Las Vegas In Memoriam: Archie Avedisian It is with sadness and reflection that WANADA reports the passing of longtime staff member and Washingtonian, Archie Avedisian. At age 91, he passed peacefully, with family at his side, in Gaithersburg. Archie was actively engaged with WANADA until the start of this year when he became ill. And active he was, being involved with the operation and expansion of WANADA’s Automobile Dealer Education Institute (ADEI), which he helped organize at the beginning of his 19-year tenure with the dealer association. Since then, ADEI has assisted innumerable young adults on career pathways into auto dealer service and sales departments. Archie’s first career, to which he was passionately dedicated, was the many years he spent with Boys and Girls Clubs around the U.S. in cities like East St. Louis and as far away as Seattle. He really left his mark, however, by his leadership as president and CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington (BGCGW), which was his legacy of 26 years. It was at BGCGW that Archie connected with WANADA and Washington area dealers through his longtime membership in Rotary International. An eminently successful fundraiser for charitable events, Archie led WANADA senior staff and dealer leaders in generating substantial dollars for the ADEI and BGCGW via VIP gala evenings, which ran in conjunction with the Washington Auto Show, where members of Congress and notables from the White house and federal government would rub elbows socially with area dealers and members of the business community at large.

Along with the name reveal, Washington Esports Ventures revealed the new Washington Justice logo and official team colors of red, white, and blue. “Justice is a universal value and the perfect name for a franchise that we hope will inspire and unite both our Washington area community and fans around the globe,” said Mr. Ein. “There is no region in the world that attracts more people to serve the cause of justice in government, philanthropy, academia, military service, and the private sector than Washington. In fact, DC’s official city motto is ‘Justitia Omnibus,’ which translates to ‘Justice for All.’ As a team representing the broader DMV region, it was important that our team identity reflects a value that unifies all of our community members, representing the full diversity of backgrounds and beliefs,” added Mr. Ein. Along with the red, white, and blue color palette, the Washington Justice logo is composed of a shield banded in red and white stripes.
