Rocky Mountain NDIA is proud to present the 42nd Annual Rocky Mountain Ball at the DoubleTree by Hilton on a new date: Friday, May 30, 2024. Please join us for this widely attended gathering of retired and active-duty military, civilians, and industry VIPs.
We will celebrate the recipient of the prestigious James V. Hartinger Award, Gen. B. Chance Saltzman, Chief of Space Operations, US Space Force. Gen. Satlzman will be the 42nd recipient of this award, joining previous honorees such as Gen James H. Dickinson, Gen Stephen N. Whiting, Gen Colin L. Powell, Gen Howell M. Estes III, Gen Ralph E. “Ed” Eberhart, MG G. Wesley Clark, and Gen John W. “Jay” Raymond.
In addition, we will once again recognize outstanding Front Range-area defense community members for their dedicated service with the Patriot Awards.
Dignitaries from all service branches and some of our sister nations (such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand) will attend as well as local and national government leaders. Senior leadership from defense industry corporations will also join us.
The Ball is hosted by the Rocky Mountain Chapter of NDIA, whose member companies purchase of tables, sponsorships, or seats at the event. All proceeds support NDIARMC’s STEM education efforts such as The Edge of Space and Rocket Day. Government guests, as always, attend free of charge and are seated with industry hosts.
After the reception, dinner, and awards, hit the dance floor with Last Patrol, a high-energy variety band covering 70’s classic, 80’s new wave, 90’s alternative, 00’s rock, funk, reggae, and ska. Last Patrol consists of two retired Army soldiers, one retired Navy sailor, and a military family member; they regularly support active military, veteran, and first responder organizations from their base in Colorado Springs.
Party flats will be provided for the ladies, and gentlemen in uniform are invited to wear their favorite mess dress party shirts. The dance party will be accompanied by dessert and coffee.
Join us for this long-standing tradition with Colorado’s Front Range military and national defense industry communities. We invite you to participate and look forward to seeing you there!
