SAN DIEGO CHAPTER (SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA) The San Diego Chapter represents companies and the naval service organizations throughout the region. Our Navy and Marine Corps organizations include ship and aircraft depots, and the commands that bring new information technologies to the warfighters. We have close partnerships with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR SPAWAR Space & Naval Warfare Systems Command (US Navy) SPAWAR Space Warfare ), and the Navy's research and development laboratory, in San Diego. We conduct monthly networking luncheons featuring senior military and civilian speakers keeping us abreast of military requirements and innovations needed from industry We also co-host executive forums between government and industry. Held every other month, these forums and associated discussions foster candid discussion on emerging technical and business issues that affect the Navy's readiness. Additionally, San Diego Chapter officers and directors meet with SPAWAR Systems Center senior management to discover and discuss issues affecting all of us who help the Navy acquire systems. Each year, the chapter co-hosts an industry conference with SPAWAR and its subordinate commands. The conference highlights the partnership between SPAWAR and industry, promotes the SPAWAR mission, apprises industry of associated business opportunities, and helps industry do business with SPAWAR. Our very active small-business committee teams with SPAWAR, AFCEA and local small business-assistance organizations, to conduct seminars focused specifically on helping small companies overcome obstacles of working with the government. Finally, our chapter has introduced an award program that recognizes mid-level government technical and program managers for excellence in bringing solutions to the fleet.
