Honoring Service. Honoring Sacrifice.

At the USAA National Military Memorial in Washington, D.C., three names were projected together: Javier Castano, CPCM, David Gragan, CPPO, Fellow, and George Schutter—three members of the Pope Solutions team with personal ties to the U.S. military.

Seeing those names displayed together was a meaningful tribute to the values military service represents: commitment, leadership, integrity, sacrifice, and service to others.

Those same values are central to who we are at Pope Solutions and continue to shape how we serve our clients and the public-sector community.
We are proud to honor all who have served, those currently serving, and the families who support them.

A special thank you to USAA for providing this opportunity to recognize and honor military service.

From military service to public service, the commitment to serving others continues.

After speaking with first-year Master of Public Health students at the University of Georgia, Charles (Chuck) Pope continued connecting with college students by joining seniors in Baylor University’s PSC 4396: International Studies Senior Seminar.

At Baylor, the conversation focused on career readiness. Chuck discussed his career path, answered students’ questions, and shared what he has learned about building professional relationships over time.

Chuck emphasized that although the world of work continues to change, people who are competent, reliable, and likeable can build strong networks of colleagues who value their work and want to work with them again.

Thank you to Dr. Ivy Orr Hamerly for welcoming Chuck into the class and creating space for an honest conversation about building a meaningful career.

Field Notes from Ukraine | Roman Ponos, President of Pope Solutions**

Pope Solutions President Roman Ponos shares a perspective from his recent meetings in Ukraine:

“As I entered Ukraine last week for a round of meetings, I encountered this sobering New York Times investigation into fraud and waste in the country’s wartime defense procurement.

Poor procurement causes losses across the board: scarce funds are wasted, critical equipment arrives late or not at all, public trust erodes, and the lives of soldiers and civilians are placed at greater risk.

Procurement reform and practical compliance training—of the kind Pope Solutions provides—can make a world of difference by strengthening systems, building institutional capacity, and ensuring resources reach the people and purposes for which they were intended.

Good procurement is not bureaucracy. It is accountability, operational effectiveness, and, in Ukraine, a matter of national security.”
