NDIA chapters & officers.

NDIA's 50 chapters, many located near major military commands, corporate business areas, research centers and defense agencies, focus on educating its communities on current and local issues relating to our national security and industrial base. Each member may participate in activities to gain firsthand knowledge of the needs and requirements of defense-related companies, attend briefings and tours hosted by senior military commanders, and strengthen local relationships among government and industry representatives. These activities range from informal breakfasts to black-tie dinners, from ad-hoc meetings to community USO benefits and scholarship fundraising events.

CENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

(ORLANDO AND MELBOURNE, FLORIDA)

Chapter Board Meetings held Second Tuesday of each month

The Central Florida Chapter membership averaged 425 during 2002. The geographical center for our members is the Central Florida Research Park, which is the home of the National Center for Simulation. The park is also the home of the U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM), Naval Air Warfare Center-Training Systems Division (NAWC-TSD) and the Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation (AFAMS), as well the University of Central Florida's Institute for Simulation and Training (IST).

The industry base that supports these "high-tech' organizations is large and diversified and made up of large, mid-size, and small "disadvantaged" businesses, Our member companies range from the giants --Lockheed Martin, TRW, L3 COM, Boeing, and Raytheon-- to small, one-person companies.

In addition to modeling, simulation and training, member companies are active participants in the areas of electronics, weapon systems, information and communications systems design, development and production. Chapter members also include a significant number of engineering, logistics and program support services companies.

During 2002, the Central Florida Chapter will continue to sponsor the Training and Simulation Industry Luncheon each month from January to November. These luncheons are usually held the third or fourth week of the month and are sponsored by a different member from our local industry each time.

The chapter will continue our role as the sponsor for an Armed Forces Day (AFD) celebration. This year's celebration was May 11, 2002. AFD 2002 will be hosted by the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force commands represented in the Orlando area.

Special events will include the presentation of academic scholarships to deserving ROTC and JROTC cadets from the University of Central Florida and Central Florida High Schools and the introduction of past, present and future veterans.

Additionally, a golf tournament was sponsored at the Kissimmee Bay Golf Course in conjunction with AFD 2002 this past May. Funds collected from this celebration will be used to support the NDIA's JROTC and UCF ROTC scholarship funds. The AFD theme is "A Salute to Our Armed Forces...Past, Present, and Future."

To assist in celebrating this event, we will have a U.S. senator, two U.S. congressmen, local dignitaries, military bands, military demonstration teams, hands-on interactive simulation and technology exhibits, historical re-enactments, JROTC drill teams, flybys, military static displays consisting of fixed and rotor wing military aircraft and ground equipment, such as trucks and armored personnel vehicles and much more.

Representation is from all branches of the armed forces including members of active, reserve and National Guard components, as well as local veteran organizations. Attendance of 20,000 to 30,000 is anticipated. The chapter sponsors several golf tournaments during the year for NDIA/NTSA, such as I/ITSEC, APBI and the Training and Testing Symposium
