SDMAC Annual Visit to Wash.D.C.
SDMAC 2012 President RADM Jim Johnson MC USN, and Executive Director, Larry Blumberg visited Wash D.C. during the period 24-27 April. While in Wash. they paid calls on the CMC, VCNO, DCNO for Fleet Readiness, (N4), CHINFO, CNIC ,the Navy Surgeon General, and Commander Marine Corps Installations Command. They also visited with the San Diego Congressional Delegation and Senator Feinstein’s Office. The major topics of discussions with both the Military and Elected Officials and their staffs concerned the Automatic budget cuts, (“Sequestration”) that were passed into law in the summer of 2011, as the result of the failure of the “Super Committee” to reach an agreement on the deficit reduction, and their impact on the Department of Defense Budget, the potential for BRAC legislation to be included in the FY-13 DOD budget, and the potential for another round of Continuing Resolution Actions, (CRA’s) to again be enacted as the result of a failure to pass a Federal Budget Prior to 1 October 2012. WRT Sequestration, unless a significant change in the position of both parties takes place, it appears to us that the Automatic cuts will be implemented on 2 January 2013. WRT BRAC, it does not appear that any BRAC Legislation will be enacted in FY 13. WRT to CRA’s it appears that we will again be operating under CRA’s for a considerable period of time beyond 1 October 2012. Trip Report

Logo Sponsorships of the 2012 San Diego Military Economic Impact Study
SDMAC Corporate members, as was announced at the 21 March SDMAC Breakfast meeting, we will be rolling out the 2012 San Diego Military Economic Impact Study at our 20 June Breakfast meeting. This study is widely recognized as the definitive source document that describes in detail the scope and depth of the impact of the military presence in the San Diego region.
The study receives wide dissemination among the senior military leadership of the Navy and Marine Corps, as well as elected and appointed government officials both locally and in the Washington area. SDMAC also considers it to be an invaluable tool for private sector corporate leadership, especially in light of the ongoing discussions concerning the Defense Budget.
As in the past, SDMAC is offering Logo sponsorships, which will appear at the front of the study, to our corporate membership. You may purchase the logo sponsorships at the SDMAC website Military Economic Impact Study
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity, and we thank you for your support.

Hiring Veterans Makes Good Business Sense
California is currently home to 1.9 million vets. Another 30,000 men and women separate from military service and return to the State every year.
Veterans are trained to be team focused, mission oriented, responsible, respectful and accountable. They have learned how to do more with less, to work well under pressure, to adapt quickly to changing conditions, and to make the best of any situation. Many veterans have been trained to be leaders.
Business owners may be entitled to thousands of dollars in state and federal tax benefits and other incentives for hiring qualified veterans. Please see the attached document to find out more about the tax benefits that may available to your company by hiring a veteran. Tax Incentives
