BEI recognized as 2019 Best of Reston honoree
BEI is happy to announce that we have been named a 2019 Best of Reston Honoree. Recipients include organizations and individuals that have demonstrated significant contributions to the greater Reston/Herndon area through their philanthropy and volunteerism.
BEI is a technology company that is focused on people. For example, we were voted one of the Best Places to Work in Washington D.C. and we take pride in our company culture of volunteerism.
Our volunteer efforts have included Reston schools, sports and scouting, Reston Swim Team Association, the Northern Virginia Maker Faire, Artemis House, and the Reston Planning and Zoning Committee. We also provide IT services to the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Reston Arts Center.
Being involved in our community is such an enriching experience and we couldn’t be more proud of our team. In summary, we would like to congratulate all of the 2019 Best of Reston recipients!
