NDIA's 51 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.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND CHAPTER

The Aberdeen Proving Ground Chapter serves the military and civilian scientists and engineers associated with the APG installation and throughout the central Maryland region area. APG was established in 1917, and became known as the "Home of the Army Ordnace". It is the birthplace of the Army Ordnance Association (AOA) which was founded in 1919. After a series of changes throughout the years, the AOA later became part of the American Defense Preparedness Association (ADPA). The present NDIA resulted from a merger between the ADPA and the National Security Industrial Association (NSIA). There are nine major Army commands represented on APG. The chapter serves as a focal point for industry to interact with these commands and others located throughout the chapter area. Chapter members and guests met on a social basis at the second annual outing and baseball game held at the Cal Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen. The event has been a success so the chapter plans to host the third annual outing and ballgame in August 2005. The chapter held a membership luncheon and tour of a contractor facility involved with the development and production of advanced security solutions for DOD and Homeland Security. Also, a membership dinner was held with a top NASA scientist as speaker. This was the third year that the chapter focused on a space technology theme for the membership dinner meeting. The topic was the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and exploration of its moon Titan. Local high school students were invited to attend the dinner presentation as guests of the chapter. The students were requested to write an article for their school newspaper sharing what they learned from the presentation. The chapter joined local corporations in the area to provide sponsorship to youth in two robotics programs. Support was provided to the Harford County Boys and Girls Club Robomaniacs team so that they could compete in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Lego League Robotics Tournament for youth 8 to 12 years of age. The team went on to take first place at the International Championship in Atlanta during April 2005. The chapter also supported the Harford Technical High School COBRA robotics team to build a large-scale robot for competition. The team went on to compete in the Philadelphia regional meet where they advanced to the final round. The chapter chose to support the robotics programs because the consensus was that this field helps build the basic concepts of science, math, engineering, teamwork, and invention for the many individuals who participate in the programs. The chapter also monitored efforts and made our position known to military and local officials concerning the proposed joint military and civilian use of the Phillips Army Airfield located at Aberdeen Proving Ground.
