September 6, 2024
On Wednesday, member of the House Armed Services Committee Rep. Jim Banks hosted his third and final northeast Indiana Defense Summit as the Congressman from northeast Indiana. You can watch the summit here. Said Rep. Banks: “I am proud to be the first ever representative from northeast Indiana to sit on the House Armed Services Committee, and those eight years of service have been the high point of my congressional career. Our region’s defense industry has been a huge boon to Hoosier workers and to our national security. The success of this year’s summit further proves that northeast Indiana is a natural home for the defense industry. Our business climate, workforce, and location at the crossroads of America will continue to attract investment from around the nation. I am confident that in the years to come northeast Indiana will play an even larger role in our national defense and competition with Communist China.” Industry and military leaders participating in the summit include the Defense Innovation Unit, AM General, BAE, General Dynamics, L3Harris, Raytheon Technologies, Rolls-Royce, Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane, and Ultra Maritime.
