SAME Blue Ridge Post

Welcome to the SAME Blue Ridge Post (BRP), where we are working with U.S. Government entities to encourage better coordination between government and industry. The BRP board of directors and the Post’s industry supporters’ coordinate with local Government entities to facilitate information sharing and collaboration that further the missions of all. This cooperation allows government contractors to network and learn about topics that are important to them and their businesses. This mutual exchange of ideas and information also allows Government personnel to learn about industry updates, to network, share their lessons learned, success stories, and contracting best practices that lead to future partnership opportunities. In addition to successful government-industry collaboration, the BRP is a longtime and ardent supporter of SAME’s Vision 2025 Strategic Plan, Goal 4: Enrich the STEM Pipeline for the Nation. The BRP has sponsored summer Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) summer camps for current high school students and provides mentoring and funding (STEM Scholarships) for college bound students.
