Military Affairs

Military Affairs Committee

This committee is responsible for maintaining a strong relationship with local military representatives and working to ensure the military receives the support it needs from the local business community. The committee will continue to partner with the Military Transformation Task Force (MTTF) and support the military’s base realignment and closure actions and help ensure that all recommendations are successfully completed by September 15, 2011. This goal is accomplished through several task forces and adjunct committees including: the Military Affairs Special Events Committee, the Celebrate America's Military Committee, and the Military Liaison Task Force.
