NIP’s San Diego Chapter was pleased to host a social gathering at the Wild Hare Bar Garden on Monday, 9 February to welcome everyone who was in town for the AFCEA West convention. It was a perfect chance to connect with fellow intelligence and information warfare professionals in a relaxed and welcoming setting on a lovely San Diego evening. We had a large turnout including several current and retired VIPs. This was a wonderful moment to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones on the San Diego waterfront.
