At our August General Membership Luncheon, we had Congressman Rob Wittman speak. He focused on the necessity of maintaining the fleet, developing a stable workforce, and strategically investing in the domestic shipbuilding and repair capacity to compete on a global scale. pic.twitter.com/sRkhBhOkoS

Workforce. Workforce. Workforce. Fascinating insights from Rep @RobWittman: Shipbuilding vs. Ship Repair vie for skilled workers at @VAShipRepair General Assembly. A coordinated strategy—boosting training—is key to break the bottleneck. Thoughts? Rename VSRA to VSRSBA? 😎 #USNavy #Shipbuilding #ShipRepair #MaritimeReadiness #MaritimeDominance

Today, VSRA's very own Joe Frommelt went and attended the @asymcahr's grand opening of their new Child Development Center. VSRA has been big supporters of ASYMCA and we were grateful to be in attendance!

Today, at Norfolk Technical Center, we had BMF volunteer some of their employees' time to make a big impact on students. For National #SkilledTradesDay, we can't thank these volunteers and the prior NTC attendees for their efforts to improve the students' education.

May the 4th be with you, from VSRA

Today we welcomed NAVSEA Executive Director Christopher Miller to VSRA’s General Membership Luncheon. He shared key insights on maintenance, innovation, and readiness, encouraging us to "think, operate, and act differently" to strengthen the fleet.

Yesterday, our Foundation held our annual Digital Innovation Competition where middle schoolers were put to the test at @NauticusNorfolk, showing off their creativity and STEM skills. We were so impressed with the students, and we are excited to share the winners! #VA #Education

Spent some time this afternoon with @VAShipRepair! Strong shipbuilding and ship repair are vital to both our national security and our local economy here in #VA02. I will always stand up for the highly skilled men and women who build and maintain our ships!
