DS Foundation Spring Luncheon a Great Success!

The DSF Spring Luncheon, held on March 26, 2026, brought together a terrific crowd of current and retired Diplomatic Security colleagues, along with many friends and partners from the business community. The Arlington Knights of Columbus once again provided a wonderful setting for an afternoon of conversation, updates, and camaraderie.

We were especially pleased to welcome Assistant Secretary of State Todd Wilcox and PDAS Nick Collura, who shared the latest news and developments from Diplomatic Security. Dan Hanna, President of our partner organization DSSAA, provided an update on the Association, while DSF Treasurer Tim O’Brien highlighted DSF’s recent work, including grants made possible through the generosity of our donors and sponsors.

We were also delighted to have representatives from many of our corporate sponsors in attendance, including Guidehouse, Leidos, Makwa Global, ManTech, Maximus, SOC, and SDFCU. Their continued support—and the support of all our donors—makes DSF’s work possible.

It was an informative, enjoyable, and energizing afternoon, and we are grateful to everyone who joined us. Stay tuned for details about our next event in Fall 2026. We hope to see you there! This event is open to current, former, and retired DS employees—as well as anyone with an interest in the DS community.
