Dear Friends, Clients & Partners:

New Target CEO, Laura Machanic, serves on City Manager Jim Hartman’s “Advisory Board,” a small group of citizens who offer advice, perspective, and input on various City initiatives. Most recently, this group has reviewed organizational/management studies and reports evaluating various City departments on efficiencies and best practices. The Advisory Board provides candid, informal comment to the City Manager on his programs and initiatives.

Since 1998, New Target has supported The Scholarship Fund of Alexandria (SFA) on its website and web initiatives. The Scholarship Fund provides last-dollar scholarships to students of Alexandria’s only public high school, T.C. Williams. From developing its first website in 1999, to showcasing gala auction items online, to accepting student applications and Telethon donations during its annual telethon, New Target has guided and supported the SFA continuously over the past decade. Now one of the Scholarship Fund's corporate partners, New Target is the proud sponsor of its own named scholarship, the New Target Internet Scholarship, which is given each year to a student who wishes to pursue a career in technology.   Additionally, New Target’s CEO, Laura Machanic, served as Chairman of The Fund's Board of Trustees during the 2004-2005 fiscal year, and then again for a second term from 2005-2006, and still remains active in the organization today.   Visit the Scholarship Fund at http://www.alexscholarshipfund.org.
