    Military Executive Breakfast and Learn

    Friday, June 12, 2026 at 8:00 AM until 9:00 AMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00

    Town Point Club
    101 W Main St
    Norfolk, VA 23510

    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.
