Check out the Shipbuilder Engagement Catalog for different ways to motivate, inspire or engage your team!
When people reflect on different chapters of their lives, especially on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, they typically refer to events as pre- or post-Katrina. Take New Orleans native Ronald Hammler, for example. Before the historic hurricane, Ronald worked at Avondale for 17 years. Little did he know, moving to Mississippi in 2004 to work in Supply Chain Management at Ingalls would be more than just a change of scenery.
“There is nothing that can prepare you for the words ‘You have cancer.’ It was devastating.”
Thankful Thursday is an initiative by the Shipbuilder Engagement Team to appreciate the hard work taking place in the shipyard. This month, the team passed out snacks to shipbuilders in COSAL & the Multipurpose Warehouse.
When shipbuilders feel connected to the brand they represent, it fosters a sense of unity and commitment to the company’s mission. Anchor Apparel brought some swag to the East Bank for shipbuilders at the latest pop-up shop. The store will continue to find ways to make items in the store accessible to all shipbuilders!
Ingalls Shipbuilding serves as the regional sponsor of Extra Table’s March of the Mayors, a continued commitment to food security in our communities. Join us through the month of February to collect food, volunteer and fight food insecurity. As we continue to be inspired by the success of the “Extra Full” event, we hope that shipbuilders see their contributions and volunteer efforts as vital pieces to our community and to its success in combatting hunger.
Each shipbuilder is an integral part of our mission. Shipbuilding is hard work and understanding available resources helps make life a little easier.
Have you noticed the vibrant, graffiti-style conex boxes out in the shipyard? Operations Resource Centers (ORCs) serve as a place where foremen can get support as they take on the elements of their job. Inside each of the ORCs are shipbuilders who welcome all questions to the production forefront. Marvin Eubanks, production planning and scheduler, uses his experience to assist foremen where needed.
Great leaders set the tone for a positive and professional workplace. Hear from our very own Karen Figueroa, business partner, Human Resources & Administration (HR&A), for an engaging Workplace Etiquette Workshop. We’ll cover topics like respect, communication, cubicle courtesy and more! This event provides engaging opportunities for all shipbuilders to strengthen their professional behaviors and foster a more collaborative and effective workplace environment. Don’t miss the opportunity to boost your leadership skills! Lunch will be provided.
The Shipbuilder Engagement Team invited current Ingalls Champions and newcomers to SS Exchequer to share some of the exciting things coming up this year for the volunteer program.
Join us for an exciting kick-off to the 2025 Ingalls Champions volunteer program. There will be a 2024 review, 2025 preview and a program overview of meaningful volunteer opportunities. Whether you’re passionate about supporting Ingalls events, giving back to the community or building your network, register below and learn more about the program.
The Contracts & Pricing (C&P) department let the good times roll to kick off the Mardi Gras season! Shipbuilders contributed a variety of king cakes from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama communities to taste while networking in the office. The Shipbuilder Engagement team provided coffee as a safe alternative to catch some energy rather than beads. This event illustrates the chemistry and great culture of the C&P team.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the African American Shipbuilders Association (AASA) employee resource group followed his vision of solidarity to strengthen the local communities they call home. AASA supplied meals to more than 500 families in the Moss Point area at their annual food distribution event. A stronger community starts with collaboration and compassion, and this event highlights shipbuilders going beyond their craft to make a meaningful impact.
Just as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. pushed society to never give up on the dream, the African American Shipbuilders Association (AASA) employee resource group echoed the same message at their annual MLK Jr. celebration on January 20.
With her husband’s experience of 25 years as a shipbuilder, Kimberly Johnson, project manager, Human Resources & Administration, has a heightened appreciation for those who build these world-class vessels.
In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service and unity, The African American Shipbuilders Association (AASA) is committed to providing much-needed food assistance to local families. AASA is partnering with Feeding the Gulf Coast to host a MLK Day Food Drive to distribute fresh produce, canned goods, frozen meats, and dry goods to those in need within our community.

Milestone events can’t happen without teamwork. Christening the future USS Harrisburg (LPD 30) was a huge success thanks to the Ingalls Champions dedicating their time to give guests an unforgettable event! Over 30 volunteers assisted in a variety of roles including bus captains, greeters, parking attendants and more!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s commitment to equality continues to inspire and foster an inclusive workforce and society. Together, let us reflect on his values at the African American Shipbuilders Association’s (AASA) MLK Celebration. Click here to register for the event!
Tis’ the season to get in the holiday spirit!
