History of MSCG

When the company was founded in 2001 by Kelly Garry Burks, her background in public health was her motivation to develop a corporate philosophy that every human being deserves access to quality health care. She understood that the most effective way to make a global impact is to support the programs that serve individuals in need. That is exactly what MSCG accomplishes across its lines of business— Equal Employment Opportunity Services, Health Care Reform & Public Health Administration, and Witness Assistance Program (VWAP).

Public Health Care—The Company's Cornerstone
Ms. Burks started MSCG with a few public health professionals who were equally passionate to support underserved families and communities, and, together, they worked on projects that supported community-based organizations. By 2003, MSCG developed a resource pool of almost 700 consultants located across the United States who had program expertise to help community health centers be successful in their mission to serve the under- and uninsured via onsite technical assistance and training. Ms. Burks' vision unfolded through the dedication and passion of MSCG's employees to engage in the company's worthy work. As a result, MSCG quickly developed a reputation for exceptional service, a nimble and responsive workforce, and empowered professionals eager to make a difference.

Equal Employment Opportunity Services—Same Vision, New Mission
Over the next decade, MSCG expanded its mission to include other critical programs and initiatives. Equal Employment Opportunity programs were MSCG's next targeted focus to ensure equal access to a quality work environment for all persons—regardless of sex, race, creed, religion, ethnicity, national origin or disability. Highly qualified and State-bar certified attorneys with a substantial depth of EEO law, process, and mediation knowledge joined the MSCG team to provide EEO support services to clients. These comprehensive services include diversity awareness and training programs, and EEO case management, such as, complaint intake and processing, investigations, mediations, conflict resolutions, alternative dispute resolutions, final agency decisions, and reports. MSCG's EEO Services team ensures careful attention, thorough investigations, and objective outcomes are consistently delivered for every case. Our alternative dispute resolution (ADR) rate is impressive through the work of our expert mediators. This exceptional commitment to equal and fair employment practices resulted in further expansion of the EEO Services line of business at MSCG.

Juvenile & Criminal Justice Program—Support for America's Survivors
Another extension of MSCG's corporate vision was our entrée into the fields of criminal and juvenile justice. We proudly serve programs that support survivors—whether they are victims and their family members who suffered from the terrorist attacks on 9/11 or children dealing with abuse, neglect, abandonment, sexual exploitation and trafficking—these programs became another priority for MSCG. Our experts in juvenile and criminal justice engage in projects that seek innovative strategies to prevent, interdict and treat juvenile delinquency; develop policies to keep juveniles from being incarcerated with adults; collaborate with law enforcement, educators, and behavioral specialists to research successful models that protect and ensure the safety of our children. Additionally, we provide specialized support at five military installations where family members and victims of the 9/11 and U.S.S. Cole terrorist attacks can watch the hearings on closed circuit television being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GITMO), and we support the Chief Prosecutor's Office and those victims attending the hearings onsite at GITMO.

The Office of Military Commissions (OMC) Victim/Witness Assistance Program (VWAP)
The Office of Military Commissions (OMC) Victim/Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) is a Directorate under the Office of the Chief Prosecutor of Military Commissions. VWAP is committed to making military commissions accessible to victims and their family members, and to providing logistical support for witnesses participating in military commissions.

To this day, MSCG continues to support our customers' missions with exceptional services and solutions driven by passionate and empowered employees. Let's work together to make a difference.
