Headline: Protecting the Empire: The High-Stakes Game of Federal Economic Security

Speaker: Rick Dwyer, Executive Director, HRMFFA
The Hook: Hampton Roads has the highest concentration of federal facilities outside of Washington, D.C. Rick Dwyer is the man charged with protecting that economic engine.
Why This is Unmissable:
This is a masterclass in "The Art of the Alliance." Rick has to align 16 fierce independent municipalities and 18 military installations toward a single goal. If you deal with stakeholders, boards, or complex partnerships, Rick’s strategy for navigating bureaucracy to secure investments is the roadmap you need.
You Will Learn:

  • Stakeholder Mastery: How to get competitors to collaborate for the greater good.
  • Economic Intel: The future of the federal footprint in our region (and what it means for your business).
  • Strategic Defense: How to protect your organization's core interests in a political landscape.
