OUR STORY is one that is driven by our yearning to have real impact on our clients, science, and society. This impact is a byproduct of the operational programs we support, as well as our propensity to contribute to our profession. I am so proud that we, as an organization, are singularly focused on ensuring technical rigor in the work for our clients, as well as in the information we share with others in the scientific community. I am also exceptionally proud that we have created a culture that embraces a collaborative spirit and prioritizes cooperation in pursuit of the most effective solutions. The credit for our continued success goes to our employees who, because of their work ethic, dedication, and technical expertise, make our impact a reality. We approach our work by recognizing the value of truly listening to and hearing our clients and then applying our rich understanding to deliver unique and innovative solutions. These are products and services tailored to clients’ needs that can only be effectively addressed by bespoke solutions. I am proud of how our employees foster a collegial and comfortable work environment that provides the foundational structure that facilitates our growth and actualizes our unparalleled services.
There is no question that our employees are the heart and soul of our identity, and therefore, I would be remiss in not mentioning our internal impact. Our strong professional development philosophy recognizes the value of encouraging all employees to participate in continual learning and education. As each employee grows and develops, the stronger HumRRO becomes. We are then better equipped to create solutions designed to target the specific needs of our clients. It is this perspective that ensures we remain an employer of choice and industry leader in our professions. In 2023 and 2024, we experienced continued growth that afforded us the opportunity to have an even greater impact. We supported more operational programs, conducted more research that informed policy decisions, and made more contributions to our field through numerous publications and presentations geared toward advancing scientific knowledge in our professions.
As a mission-driven organization, HumRRO is fortunate to be in a position to provide meaningful products and services that have a real impact, while continuing to contribute to science and society. I am pleased to share with you our 2023-2024 Biennial Report that offers a snapshot of our commitment to serving our clients and our profession.
