Jordan Becker, KPBS, and Thanksgiving
2 Comments Published by Dr. Beyster November 24th, 2010 in SAIC, SAIC Alumni.Last Tuesday the 16th I met with Jordan Becker, an outstanding individual who worked at SAIC for more than 10 years. Jordan is an expert on the Internet and is technically savvy in a variety of areas. I hired him in 2000, but he recently left SAIC to work for BAE Systems. He has a tremendous amount of responsibility, with several thousand employees reporting to him. This is a real loss to SAIC. I wish Jordan well in his new position.
Last Thursday I met with a group of individuals from the KPBS television station who are interested in having me sponsor a news program on local science and engineering. This is an interesting opportunity and I look forward to exploring it further.
On Friday Ron Arnold, Mark Waldschmidt, and I motored up to Oceanside. Needless to say, I had a busy week.
I hope all of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Dear Dr. Beyster,
I am so glad to hear you are on the mend! We, at The San Diego Foundation, are thrilled when we hear the message on KPBS about The Beyster Family Fund at The San Diego Foundation being a generous supporter of KPBS. So many of us listen to KPBS and it’s fun to hear our work place mentioned. Congratulations on the award of the first J. Robert Beyster Professor of Employee Ownership at Rutgers! Best wishes for continued healing and good health!

Leslie: Thank you for your note. I am pleased to support KPBS’s good work in the San Diego community. I am also pleased with the work that Joseph Blasi at Rutgers has done in the area of employee ownership over the years. He is one of our strongest supporters. — Bob
