James Beauford Excellence Award

With a heavy heart, we announced the eternal rest of James “Jimmy” Beauford on January 25th, 2021 following a 13-month battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. As a Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran, Jimmy leveraged his field experience and possessed an unsurpassed operational systems knowledge of the Global Command and Control Systems – Joint (GCCS-J) Program, ensuring our warfighters maintain combat space dominance and safety.

Due to the pandemic, family and friends were unable to gather for a traditional service to celebrate Jimmy’s life. However, more than 200 friends and family joined via Zoom virtually to honor him.

Before passing, Jimmy was honored by the Veterans Affairs for his military service: VA Ceremony

“Looking back over the last decade, Jim has proven to be an invaluable asset to our organization.  A significant amount of our growth in the GCCS-J program can be attributed to Jim’s involvement and leadership.  More importantly, our team’s success in delivering and maintaining capabilities to our warfighters can be traced back directly to Jim.  We are eternally grateful that he was part of the TQA organization.” Neil Moyer, President of TrustedQA, Inc.

Jimmy left a lasting impression upon us. He was a highly valued member of the TrustedQA team for nearly a decade and was a loyal friend to those privileged to know him.  He will be greatly missed.
