This week, Ryan Ritchie, Chief External Relations Officer, and Danielle Chrysler, Chief Government Relations Officer, joined partners from the Crane Regional Defense Group, Applied Research Institute (ARI), the WestGate Authority, the Indiana Defense Task Force, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce Defense Council, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, and the Indiana General Assembly Defense Caucus in Washington, D.C., for a series of meetings and events with Indiana’s congressional delegation.

Together, they highlighted the incredible work taking place at Naval Weapons Station Crane and advocated for continued investment and new opportunities that strengthen Indiana’s role in our nation’s defense.

It was great to see so many Hoosiers on Capitol Hill working together to showcase the innovation, collaboration, and impact happening in Indiana’s national defense ecosystem. We are proud to support efforts that help advance our state’s defense mission and create opportunities for communities across Indiana.

Plans matter. So does the ability to adjust when circumstances shift.

In public policy, communications and community work, progress often depends on how well leaders respond to change, regroup with purpose and keep moving with discipline.

This week’s reminder: strategy is not just about having a plan. It is about knowing how to move when the plan changes.
