One success factor for many defense community leaders is their own experience with the military. In this episode, ADC’s Randy Ford talks with two military veterans who have transitioned out of military service and into defense community service. We talk about their work and how defense communities across the country can strengthen ties to their local installation, federal and industry partners.

Our guests are:

• Jim Iacocca, President and CEO, Knox Regional Development Alliance
• Elaine Bryant, Executive Vice President, Aerospace and Defense, Dayton Development Coalition; Managing Director of the Military and Federal Sector, JobsOhio

There are more one-on-one discussions with community leaders in the upcoming edition of America’s Defense Communities Magazine.

America’s Defense Communities | The Podcast is a production of the Association of Defense Communities (defensecommunities.org). This episode is hosted by On Base Editor Randy Ford, produced by Mark Parrott and Allison Yang, and mixed by Mark Parrott.
