Written on 06/13/2025
Ingalls Communications


The Big Picture: More than 400 shipbuilders were able to connect with leadership, learn important updates about HII and Ingalls, ask questions and provide feedback during the four Ingalls Town Hall sessions held throughout the month of May. 

  • Sessions were held at both Ingalls and Avondale facilities
  • Led by Ingalls President Brian Blanchette

Why It Matters: Town Hall sessions ensure the voice of every shipbuilder is heard and gives leadership the opportunity to acknowledge the company’s successes and goals.

  •  Increase transparency, improve communication and reinforce a shared mission across all departments

What They’re Saying:

  • Justin Rayborn, Manager, Production Control:The passion Brian (Blanchette)  has for shipbuilding and the importance of it really stuck with me. We sometimes forget how incredibly important we are to not only ourselves and our families but to our country and our military.
  • Jaclyn Duhon, Project Manager, Ethics & Compliance: "The statement, ‘Do what is right for the warfighter’ reinforces our mission-driven culture that prioritizes purpose. This message should drive accountability and quality, sense of duty and pride, encourage ethical decision-making, and unify the workforce.
