A Look at the Summit: Innovative Funding Solutions to Advance Resilience

March 4, 2022

We are just a few days away from the start of the Defense Communities National Summit – the first time this event has taken place in-person since summer 2019.

One mainstage session will explore the innovative funding strategies that can fund resilience projects on installations and in the communities they call home, including how to make the most of public and private sector funding sources. The panelists come from the public sector, local government and federal government.

The event runs Monday through Wednesday in Arlington, Virginia. Pre-registration is closed, but you can still register on-site. Check the agenda to customize your Summit experience.
