MITRE Response
5yThank you for sharing your perspective and for your contributions at MITRE. It is great to see you’ve recognized the important technical work we are doing on some of our nation’s biggest challenges.
MITRE continues to be a non-partisan organization that is deeply committed to our mission of solving problems for a safer world. Part of fulfilling our mission is to address the most pressing challenges our customers and our nation faces. In our current environment, that includes topics that may be perceived as political in nature - like social justice, election security, and curbing the COVID pandemic. However, our approach to solving these issues continues to be politically agnostic as we apply objective, technology and data-driven approaches to solve the most relevant problems our nation is challenged with.
Our recent organizational changes were given careful consideration by our leadership and our Board of Trustees. Grounded in our corporate strategy, these changes ensure a more seamless organization that enables us to have greater agility, act boldly, align our leadership and resources, and prepare for a future that continues to support our people, our mission, and our organization. Decisions of this magnitude are never taken lightly; they are deliberate, thought-through, and forward-thinking. They ensure that MITRE remains relevant into the future as we continue to operate in the public interest, deliver innovative solutions to our sponsors and partners, and prepare for the challenges ahead.
