The National Defense Industrial Association, Rocky Mountain Chapter is proud to present the 40th Annual Rocky Mountain Ball.  The Chapter will hold the ball at the Double Tree Hilton on 18 August 2022.  As always, this is a black-tie event (mess dress) considered a widely attended gathering with a mixture of retired and active-duty military, civilians, and industry. 

At the ball, we will present the Hartinger Award and Patriot Awards again. 

• Hartinger Award this year honors General James H. Dickinson, Commander, United States Space Command. 
• Patriot Awards honor military members who have gone above and beyond in the performance of their mission. We will be posting more information about the Patriot Awards recipients as we get closer to the Ball.

We will have dignitaries from all branches of service and some of our sister nations, such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. We will also have industry and corporate VIPs in attendance. 

National Defense Industrial Association member companies may participate in the purchase of tables, sponsorships, or seats at the event.  With the purchase of a ten-seat table, the industry provides four seats at their table for government seating, as assigned by the Ball Committee.  The Ball Committee uses great care in the seating process to avoid potential conflicts of interest between the government and industry participants.
