Programs & Events
 The Military Affairs Division provides many programs through out the
year in support of the military and their families, as well as programs
that provide an opportunity for the community at large to learn more
about the military in the region and to hear from senior leaders.
One of our major activities is the
Armed
Forces Week Concert and Luncheon. The US Air Force
Academy Band and the Colorado Springs Chorale provide a patriotic
concert at the Pikes Peak Center, followed later in the week by a gala
luncheon attended by over 900 at the Broadmoor to honor our top enlisted
members of our military. Community support, through
sponsorships and corporate
tables, for the luncheon allows the Military Affairs Division to provide
nearly 400 free tickets for our enlisted force.
Would you like to hear what’s happening at our bases from their
leadership? Watch for the
Military
Speakers Luncheons, held two times a year. These
informative luncheons allow for networking as well as providing a
glimpse of recent activities at our bases. Recent speakers
included LGEN Findley, Deputy Commander NORAD; Lt Gen Regni,
Superintendent, USAF Academy; MG Mixon, Commanding General, Division
West, 1st Army; and Maj Gen Steuterman, Chancellor, National Space and
Security Institute.
Our
Military
Family Career Fair
attracts over 50 businesses and over 1000 participants (active duty
military, reserve, guard, veterans, retirees, and spouses). If you’re looking to expand
your business with quality people you want your business at this event.
Base Orientation Visits
give small groups of Military Affairs Council Members a chance for an inside
look at our bases. Visits have been made to Fort Carson, NORAD and USNORTHCOM, Cheyenne Mountain, USAF Academy, 21st Space Wing and the Missile Defense Integrated Operations Center.
Other annual events include the

Business Outreach Program and the
