The Chamber is pleased to host the Redstone Update – a joint effort with Redstone Arsenal – to share important information with the community about Redstone’s roles, missions and the huge impact that the installation has on the defense and security of our nation and the economy of the Tennessee Valley region and Alabama. The 2020 Update leveraged the virtual format to bring you even more valuable content than we have previously been able to deliver.

We are grateful to the volunteers who helped introduce the sessions and to the presenters, who shared their time with us.
