ADC launched the 2023-2024 Defense Community Champions program this week. The program gives ADC members the chance to recognize who has an impact in their community, as the official announcement said.

The first step for any community that wants to nominate a champion in their area is to complete ADC’s Partner Program Form. The official nomination period will open this summer for communities that have registered as partners.

ADC Communications Coordinator Isabel Zimmerman explains the program and the nomination process in a brief video.

Navy Federal Credit Union is the official sponsor of the Defense Community Champions program.
