Gleason Research and Associates, Inc. recently held its grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony in celebration of opening a new corporate headquarters in Cummings Research Park. The new headquarters provides for expanded office space and modern conference and security facilities to better support GRA’s defense, intelligence, law enforcement/homeland security and NGO customers. Keynote speakers included Dr. Robert Yates, CEO of GRA, Inc. and Chuck Vessels, president of GRA, Inc., and special guest speaker Mayor Loretta Spencer.

“GRA tripled in size the last two years and added many new customers requiring special security measures,” stated Dr. Bob Yates, CEO, “necessitating the new facility.”

“We have projected we will outgrow this new office by next year, by over doubling the company again," added GRA President Chuck Vessels.

“Today’s event is a celebration of the continued growth of a company whose core mission should be near and dear to every one, not only in this community – but in this country: the support of our soldiers. GRA, Inc. provides superior support products and services to enable the soldiers who are protecting and defending our country to fulfill their objectives and return home safely,” said Don Nalley, vice chair of Economic Development for the Chamber.

Spencer congratulated the employees and praised their hard work in creating a successful company.
