HII was proud to sponsor the 20th anniversary of the Easterseals DC MD VA Advocacy Awards in Washington, D.C., on May 1. This award honors advocates who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to advancing opportunities for veterans, military families, children and adults with disabilities, and low-income families. During the event, HII Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability and Compliance Officer Paul C. Harris spoke about the importance of partnerships and taking care of the service members who protect the nation.
HII's Syracuse facility serves as a hub for integrating various technologies crucial for supporting all branches of the U.S. military and other national security agencies. U.S. Rep. Brandon Williams (NY-22) recently visited. “I was excited to see the cutting-edge technologies that support our warfighters being developed right here in Central New York,” Williams said. “The work on electromagnetic warfare, sensors and control systems here in Syracuse, supporting our Army and Navy, is increasingly relevant as we seek to deter the advances of our adversaries. I’m proud of this facility’s strong contributions to our national defense and look forward to supporting these programs, along with the rest of our district’s priorities, in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act and defense appropriations bill.”
