Join us for Shipbuilder Engagement Day – a day dedicated to leadership development, professional growth, and meaningful connection. This event will bring shipbuilders together for learning, collaboration and inspiration to lead with purpose and make an impact from any seat.
Shipbuilders who joined the Professional Development Series session, “Engage with Purpose: How We Make an Impact Together,” where Lisa Bradley, manager of Stakeholder Engagement, walked through how community involvement directly strengthens the places where shipbuilders live and work. The session highlighted how Ingalls’ outreach efforts enhance quality of life across the Gulf Coast and how these initiatives support the workforce behind shipbuilding.
This holiday season, Ingalls shipbuilders are once again coming together to support children and families across the Gulf Coast. Through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, the Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence, our annual Toy Drive, and a variety of volunteer opportunities, we continue a meaningful tradition of giving back to neighbors who need it most.
Shipbuilders supported an important cause that resonates with everyone at the Gulf Coast Heart Walk. Volunteers raised awareness on heart health, cheered on survivors and honored their friends and families. The walk became a powerful reminder of what our shipbuilders value most.
We know shipbuilding is tough work—and understanding the support available to you can make things smoother. Join us at the Shipbuilder Resource Showcase on October 15 to connect with teams across Ingalls, ask questions, and learn about resources that benefit you at work and at home.
The “First Impression Connections: How to Build Your Network” session taught shipbuilders how to strengthen professional relationships and build meaningful connections. Brenna Sprinkle, manager, Operations, Shelly Laughlin, manager, Business Management and Rob Wise, project management, Infrastructure & Sustainability, shared insights on expanding networks and fostering mentorship.
Across three community events, shipbuilders demonstrated the spirit of service, togetherness and community pride during a meaningful weekend of volunteerism.
The Veterans Employee Resource Team (VERT) hosted a general membership meeting as an effort to share their mission to support military outreach both in the shipyard and the community.
Ingalls employee resource group CODE volunteered at the Moss Point Back to School Rally by distributing 400 packs of paper to students—a contribution that directly supports local families in the community. CODE’s involvement ensured students received essential materials, giving them a stronger, more confident start to the school year.

We’re excited to celebrate the shipbuilders who invested in their growth through the June Frontline Leaders (FLL) class! The FLL program supports shipbuilders transitioning into leadership roles by providing essential skills and resources. Through a focus on communication, team relationships, and effective leadership practices, participants learn how to strengthen and positively influence their teams.
Strong presentations do more than share information. They build trust, inspire action, and make ideas stick. From meetings to major presentations, discover how to speak with clarity, presence, and impact.
We’re building a culture where connection and growth thrive! The Culture Connector Networking Committee is excited to host a peer-to-peer speed networking event that gives shipbuilders the opportunity to strengthen relationships across the board for participants.

Leadership does not live inside easy answers. It lives inside tension, and how leaders navigate that tension determines the trajectory of every moment. The compounding effect of intentional courage transforms teams and organizations, one ordinary decision at a time.
