NIP’s Capital Chapter held its March Social at the Union Street Pub in Old Town Alexandria on 20 March. A smaller than usual crowd gathered, but it was, once again, a great opportunity to catch up with folks, meet new people, and recruit members for NIP!

Over 25 Naval Intelligence professionals—junior and senior, active duty, retired, civilians--gathered at the Union Street Pub in Old Town, Virginia on the last day of January for our monthly social.

NIP's DC Chapter had a small, but quality turnout for its happy hour on 12 October at the Bier Garden in Old Town Alexandria, VA.

Members from NIP's DC Chapter, along with members from the Naval Order of the U.S. National Capital Region, toured the Cold War Museum in Warrenton, Virginia on Saturday, 11 February 2023.

NIP Members gathered on 1 December at Sonoma Cellars in Old Town (Alexandria, Virginia) for an informal social to “meet and greet” old and new members.

NIP is looking for a new director to run the annual NIP golf tournament, beginning in 2023. The board of directors has tasked the DC Chapter to find someone to lead next year’s event. It would likely be a good idea to attend this year’s event to see how the program runs.
