“Dear PoPville,
This morning’s biblical event identified my gutters are overflowing in the back of my house, causing the torrent of rain to come down the middle of my rear wall and pool on the ground and seep into my basement floor (tile, thank goodness). I’m on the Hill if it matters. It’s not a huge job, but boy is it important to me. Any help would be appreciated!!”

ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing.
Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services.
