What is the core mission of your organization? Create a “trusted” networking environment to facilitate the exchange of ideas
Invest in programs that provide value to our members
Develop the next generation of professionals
Serve broader national security interests
How do you measure impact and success in your programs? Membership growth and scholarship support.
What are your biggest fundraising or outreach challenges? Reaching the vast amount of industry contacts who may not know of NDTA due to being a Nonprofit and having limited funding for Marketing.
How do you build long-term relationships with donors and supporters? Continue to provide value in our Programs at an educational level. Outline, with practicality and simplicity, the needs our industry can meet in order to be an exemplary defense industrial base key component.
What trends are influencing the nonprofit world today? Definitely AI and the speed at which information changes right now. The defense industry must adjust rapidly to changing needs, at the logistical and manufacturing level, as the capabilities required in theatre are advancing rapidly.
Can you share a story that shows your mission in action? Yes, look at any NDTA Conference across our nation and you’ll see the Surface Force Projection Meeting occuring at Christopher Newport University, Newport News, VA in May (18-22), and the NDTA Fall Meeting occurring this year in Grapevine, TX in October. Both are excellent examples of educational and networking opportunities between defense and industry.
What keeps you motivated in this work? For me personally, it is the next generation. Getting information out to our communities regarding the needs of our defense industry can directly impact educational and workforce opportunities for our young men and women who are seeking out purpose and direction in the careers they pursue. The scholarship programs are a direct reflection of NDTA’s dedication to our future workers and leaders.
