"SMT has worked with more than 40 organizations, including the National Council on State Boards of Nursing, the U.S. National Security Agency and the Institute of Internal Auditors, so we look forward to working with SCSA,” said SMT Director of Business Development Dick Soule. “We believe they represent an area of knowledge that is increasingly needed in today’s world."
