The Rocky Mountain Ball Committee is focused on the planning and execution of the annual NDIA Ball. This premier NDIA Rocky Mountain Chapter event is attended by local and national military, government, and industry leaders and includes the planning, nomination, and award of the prestigious Hartinger Award. Additionally, the Rocky Mountain Chapter inaugurated the Patriot Award program in 2008 to recognize exceptional Individuals who are serving their country in the military services. The recognition is focused on military personnel stationed in the Colorado Springs area representing the major military organizations and bases and is a highlight of the NDIA RMC Ball.
