Dear Navy Suppliers:

Please join us on July 23rd at El Camino College in Torrance, California for the Rising Tides California Maritime Industrial Base (MIB) Supplier & Resource Partner Fair. This event is being produced exclusively for MIB Suppliers – organizations that are currently working with the US Navy. There is no cost to attend.

By attending, you will be able to network and engage with a host of organizations that are dedicated to ensuring the long-term workforce sustainability and technology innovation of MIB suppliers. During the event, you will be able to participate in a unique Speed Dating session during which you can engage with and learn from resource partners that are dedicated to helping your organization with long-term workforce sustainability and technology innovation.

If your organization is challenged with issues related to recruitment and retention, skills and training gaps that can hinder growth and productivity, and cyber security and advanced manufacturing technology implementation, this event will be extremely valuable to you.
