Stephen Bach, mayor of Colorado Springs, addressed chapter attendees at the November luncheon held at the Club at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. At least once a year, the chapter, the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), the Air Force Association and the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Council have a combined luncheon. The chapter had the privilege of hosting this year's luncheon. Bach stressed the importance of the military, defense contractors and supporting professional organizations like AFCEA, NDIA and AFA to the Colorado Springs community. He then outlined the challenges facing the city of Colorado Springs and his plans for addressing these challenges. The mayor concluded his speech by emphasizing that Colorado Springs is a great place to live, and he intends to attract additional businesses and "working age" individuals to the area. Afterwards, Bach addressed several questions regarding activities impacting the local community. |
