River Region Defense Summit - NEW!

description

A gathering of Montgomery's military leadership, defense industry representatives, elected officials and community partners, offering insight into the impact of U.S. Department of Defense missions and contracts in Montgomery and exploring the area's key role as a Defense Community. The Chamber is excited to host this new event during Military Appreciation Week in November 2019. Montgomery's military and defense footprint is rich both in heritage and impact, effecting Air Force and other defense operations around the globe. This inaugural River Region Defense Summit, slated to become an annual event, will bring all of Montgomery's unique military and defense partners together for updates and discussion. The River Region Defense Summit will be a function of a newly created River Region Defense Council that brings together military commanders representing specific missions within the broader River Region footprint, including missions of the Alabama Air and Army National Guard, U.S. Air Force, and Reserve components. As part of a "mission brief," each commander will be invited to provide a brief overview of current activities, needs, successes, and/or an outlook for the next year. The event will also include an update from the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce as part of a review of River Region Defense Council activities during the year. Invitees will include local, state, and federal government leaders and elected officials, relevant partner organizations representing defense interests in the Montgomery area and statewide, MACC leadership to include board members, members of the executive committee, members of the Government Affairs Council, members of the Wright Flyers, and relevant staff, and members of the business community, and defense contractors.
