Join us for a Ribbon Cutting as we celebrate with our member, Firehawk Aerospace! Legacy methods can’t keep pace with today’s defense challenges. Firehawk Aerospace brings a faster, cheaper, and more adaptable way forward — scalable propulsion systems engineered to restore industrial capacity and put mission readiness back on America’s side.  The defense industry’s reliance on outdated manufacturing leaves our warfighters waiting. Firehawk replaces bottlenecks with rapid, U.S.-based additive manufacturing — ensuring America stays ahead in an era of geopolitical uncertainty. We collaborate with leaders like Fairlead, Juggerbot, and FISTA to strengthen America’s defense posture. Our team blends aerospace expertise, materials science, and advanced manufacturing to deliver propulsion systems the modern battlefield demands.

Strategic Judgment in Times of Change A Learning Lab for Business Owners Business owners are often required to make important decisions without complete information—balancing pressure to act with the wisdom to pause. This learning lab creates space to explore how effective leaders develop sound judgment in moments of uncertainty, transition, and complexity. Rather than offering tactics or one-size-fits-all answers, the session focuses on how leaders think: how they assess context, recognize patterns, and choose responses that support long-term stability and growth. In this interactive lab, participants will: Examine common decision points faced by business owners during change Explore frameworks for determining when to act, when to wait, and when to adapt Reflect on real-world leadership scenarios in a confidential, thoughtful setting Strengthen their ability to make decisions that are both strategic and humane The session draws on timeless principles of leadership and change, translated into clear, modern business language. No prior leadership training or philosophical background is required. This lab is well-suited for business owners and senior leaders who: Are navigating growth, constraint, or uncertainty Want to move beyond reactive decision-making Value thoughtful leadership and long-term perspective This session is the first in a 3-part learning lab series focused on judgment, timing, and leadership through change. Optional boxed lunch available for purchase on our main event page. Lunch orders must be submitted no later than 3 days before the event.

CMMC Level 2 is no longer a future requirement, it’s a present competitive differentiator. But what does it actually take to get certified? Join us for a candid, expert-led discussion featuring a certified C3PAO leader, a nationally recognized cyber risk strategist, and one of the first companies to successfully achieve CMMC Level 2 certification. Together, they’ll walk through the real-world certification journey from three critical perspectives: the assessor, the advisor, and the contractor who went through it. You’ll gain practical insight into: What’s changing in the CMMC ecosystem, and what contractors often misunderstand ​How certification readiness differs from true operational compliance The most common pitfalls companies encounter Documentation, evidence, and culture shifts that matter during assessment Lessons learned from going through a live Level 2 evaluation How to build a compliance program that is sustainable beyond certification Whether you are preparing for your first assessment, reassessing your current readiness posture, or advising clients on their compliance strategy, this session will provide grounded, experience-driven guidance, not just theory. Expect a transparent conversation about timelines, resource allocation, executive buy-in, and what it truly means to operationalize NIST 800-171 under CMMC Level 2. If CMMC is part of your growth strategy in the DoD market, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Join us for a Ribbon Cutting as we celebrate with our member, Indian Creek Wholesale Nursery! After 13+ years in the local landscape business, Randy McMullen decided to open a nursery offering high quality landscape trees and plants, outdoor products and landscape materials available in the Southeast. His goal was to provide a “one stop landscape shop” for both contractors and retail customers in the Huntsville/Madison area. Instead of going to multiple locations to find all the materials needed for a job, customers could save time and energy and come to Indian Creek Wholesale Nursery for all of their landscaping needs! Each year, we expand our line of products in an effort to achieve that goal. Randy, along with his oldest son, Corey, travel the country in an effort to locate the finest, healthiest plants in the land. From cold-hardy palms in Florida to Japanese maples in Oregon, we make sure only the best plants come to our greenhouses. Everyone is welcome at Indian Creek. Come by and shop where the pros shop. Our knowledgeable staff is standing by to offer you their years of experience and advice. We look forward to seeing you and appreciate your business!
