February 7, 2020

Senior Navy leaders will talk about the service’s mission resiliency initiatives and other priorities during a special pre-conference session Monday at ADC’s Installation Innovation Forum 2020 in San Antonio, Texas.

The session will feature Lucian Niemeyer, acting assistant secretary of the Navy for energy, installations and environment; Sandy Kline, the deputy command information officer for enterprise integration at Naval Facilities Engineering Command; and John Kliem, the Energy Security Programs Office director.

“IIF20 offers us an outstanding forum to discuss the future of military value and where defense communities, states and industry can help preserve or enhance that value,” Niemeyer recently told On Base.

The Air Force, Marine Corps, Army National Guard and Air National Guard are also participating in pre-conference sessions Monday morning.
