Canceled: Panel Topic: Women in the Defense Community

UPDATE: This event has been canceled.

Join The Patuxent Partnership and the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of Women in Defense as they hear from local senior civilian, military, and industry leaders on their unique career journeys regarding the state of the country’s defense community today as it relates to women seeking growth and opportunity, and what they predict the future will hold for women in defense.

The event will be held from 8:30 to 10 am Wednesday, March 25, 2020, at the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum’s Flight Tech Hall Building B at 22156 Three Notch Road in Lexington Park, MD.
