He has considerable management and operational experience and interfaces well with senior, technical, and operational personnel nationally and internationally.
Mr. Al-Hadid served as president of Technical Resolution Corp. from 2008 to 2013, with major responsibilities for developing grants, contract proposals, planning, organizing, directing, reporting, and assisting communities in accessing grants and contracts with public and private entities.

The team developed the technical and financial proposal for building the food production facility that was approved by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and funded by the Department of Commerce (DOC) loan for $1.0 million. The Project created one hundred jobs, provided training and employment for 90% of related jobs, i.e., food science, testing, and production filled by welfare recipients, ex-inmates, and ex-military personnel.

Mr. Al-Hadid's professional journey has been marked by notable achievements and events for which he credits not his individual leadership, but the holistic efforts provided by all of the individuals that contributed their talents to each venture. As an example, he received the Washington State Governor's Emergency Grant in 1968 to set up a community-based employment office for returning Vietnam Veterans and community members. The collective community took ownership, and 300-400 jobs placements were achieved annually for five years. The project further served to create other programs, i.e., minority contractors' association, youth drug education and pre-release programs.

Mr. Al-Hadid attributes his success to his mentors, presented opportunities, and co-workers who have taught him how to take on the responsibility of being a leader.
