Prepping for SAS Analytics Conference

October 8, 2012 – PQC International will be one of the sponsoring partners for the SAS Analytics Conference that will take place October 8 & 9 in Las Vegas, NV. In a push to show our great passion for SAS and analytics we have created a banner on the home page of our PQC website. Our banner allows those interested in attending the conference a discounted fee for going through us to purchase their admission. This conference will be a huge event for us due to its brand recall for PQC. Our CEO will be one of the session speakers, which gives great exposure of our credibility. We are confident that our diligent preparation and participation in the SAS Analytics conference will leave a lasting impact that will lead us to bigger and better opportunities.

Don't Forget to Grab your Seat!

September 12th 12pm-1pm EST Septtember 12, 2012, 12pm-1pm EST - Transparency implies openness, communication, and accountability, based on the Wikipedia’s definition. This webinar will look at transparency from three different perspectives: the first one is a personal perception; the second one is the standpoint within and between organizations; the third one is the view of new digital reality. But all three perspectives will suggest ways how leaders can achieve healthy and sincere candidness; even though transparency is usually a matter of survival in the networked universe, where competition is intense and reputations can be crushed by the click of a mouse.

Coca-Cola Partners in Promise

July 19, 2012

The PQC team attended the Coca Cola Partners in Promise Event at the Coca Cola Headquarters. The team was led to the red carpet where they took a photo before heading to the auditorium for the award ceremony. During the ceremony, we learned of the many minority suppliers that were able to succeed because they had worked with Coca Cola, including PQC. When Frank took the stage, the crowd immediately “woke up”. Frank, as usual, made the crowd laugh and gave an inspiring speech. Afterwards, the awards were presented to the awardees and everyone was then led to the reception. At the end of the evening, all attendees received a pledge from the CEO of the Coca-Cola Company, Muhtar Kent, as a souvenir for the night.

Atlanta Veteran Job Fair

June 27, 2012

Since the passing of the Veterans Back to Work Act, companies have taken an increased interest in hiring active duty and military veterans. The event was hosted at the Georgia World Congress Center and several large companies were in attendance. Our booth was one of the largest and most visited due to our military appearance and diverse look. We had great conversations and received 125 resumes from the event. A job fair such as this is a great resource pool for candidates that we are targeting and the experience levels that these candidates bring. We may have had an even better response had we attended with mostly American or military background associates. This event was a great success and we will continue to be involved in job fairs such as these.

PQC Quarterly Celebration Wii Tournament
September 28, 2012 - We always have fun when we get together and although it was a rainy day we enjoyed some indoor tennis. Frank announced our quarterly award winners and since both of them were tied up with their projects, their mentors and managers accepted their awards on their behalf. Elena followed with announcing the winners of the GCOE survey and the Mentor/ Mentee challenge. After awards were distributed and everyone ate the real fun began. Teams were split up and the competitive nature came out. It was a close game between each player since so many of them were brand new to the Wii system. At the end we all had a blast and the top four were chosen as winners and received gifts for such a great game.
