SMACPAC Ambassadors continue to engage with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle building relationships that benefit all contractors.
SMACPAC Ambassadors continue to attend events throughout the summer of 2026, with the goal of strengthening relationships with critical Congressional stakeholders from both sides of the aisle.
One of the highlights of the summer was the opportunity for several SMACPAC Ambassadors to join more than one dozen lawmakers at Rep. Lou Correa’s (D-CA) Disneyland event.

Stan Kolbe, CIC Club Member Kristine Hammond, Political Pacesetter Gina Medel, Congressman Correa, Political Pacesetter Carmen Koo, and CalSMACNA Executive and CIC Club Member Chris Walker at the event.
