Resilient California

California’s complex operating environment requires leadership, innovation and resilience to thrive. This year’s Defense Leadership Summit theme “Resilient California” will focus on challenges and solutions throughout the state and across the defense sector in the areas of Energy and Infrastructure, Natural Disasters and Climate Change, and Economy and Workforce. Subject matter experts will engage collaboratively and interact with the attendees on a range of topics related to these areas as well as traditional Summit subject areas such as Grant Funding Opportunities and Family and Quality of Life Initiatives.

This unique annual event also brings together elected officials and senior state and federal agency personnel to provide perspective and vision on today’s and tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities. Whether you’re a military, community or industry leader the Summit offers an outstanding opportunity to network, engage and learn along with your peers across the Defense sector in the Golden State.
