National Defense Industrial Association Lunch and Learn Discusses How to Avoid World War III
(Local News ~ 01/23/15)
WestGate at Crane - January 22, 2015 - Scenes from Top Gun and Dr. Strangelove greeted the crowd at the National Defense Industrial Association's (NDIA) January Lunch and Learn. Filling a large classroom at the WestGate Academy Conferencing and Training Center, business, government, and military leaders gathered to hear from Col. David Augustine (Ret.), formerly of the Indiana Air National Guard and now Chairman of the Northeast Indiana Defense Industry Association (NIDIA) and Senior Vice President of Business Development for Stryke Industries. Augustine titled his remarks, "World War III: Avoiding the Unthinkable," a topic that played well with clips from the famous films, showing the U.S. nuclear capabilities. That capability, Augustine said, is the key to preventing large-scale war. Recent social media hacks have brought international war into the spotlight. Twitter feeds from United Press International and New York Post were used to claim a Chinese attack on the USS George Washington in the South China Sea. No attack occurred, but the incident brought scenes of fresh, widespread, international conflict to the forefront. Calling the defense industry the "arsenal of democracy," a moniker from the second world war, adding that the country must remain prepared and not be dull to the threats posed by an increasingly active Russia and a powerful China, not to mention protecting interests on the European front. Nuclear deterrents are the creative legacy of the defense industry, Augustine said, and they are the key to preventing another world war. After spending the previous day learning about the capabilities of Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, Augustine remarked he was impressed not only by the base's rich history of service to the country, but also by the clear Hoosier pride and commitment to service members he saw on display. "I can't say enough how impressed I am by NSWC Crane," said Augustine. "Our warfighters are only as good as the equipment we put in their hands, and Crane and its industry partners are providing the best." NDIA regularly features speakers like Col. Augustine, providing an opportunity for networking that is a key function of the WestGate Academy.

Full-Service Banking Now Available at WestGate@Crane Technology Park; Crane Federal Credit Union Holds Grand Opening of New WestGate Branch
(Local News ~ 01/23/15)
WestGate at Crane -The Friday afternoon, scramble to get checks deposited has become a little less frantic for Crane Federal Credit Union members, thanks to its newest, full-service branch at the WestGate at Crane Technology Park. The WestGate branch will be open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Members can access a full range of financial services, including basic transactions and loan applications. Located in the credit union's main headquarters, the branch strengthens the presence of the Tech Park's original tenant. Crane Federal Credit Union was the first company to open its doors within the tech park in May of 2007. Crane Federal Credit Union and WestGate at Crane Technology Park Officials celebrate the grand opening of the new WestGate branch. Financial services are part of the growing amenities offered at the Tech Park. With Greene County Health Clinic, and the state-of-the-art WestGate Academy, where Starbucks coffee is brewed until 2:00 p.m. every day, the tech park is becoming more than just a place to work; it is becoming a place to live. Gary Gray, Chairman of the Board at Crane FCU noted the increased activity at the Academy in the credit union's choice to open a new branch. "The WestGate at Crane Tech Park and the surrounding area have developed to the point and size where it was clear it needed some financial services, so we opened a full service branch. We look forward to serving the companies and employees in the tech park, as well as adding new members. We have seen the increased activity at the WestGate Academy and we felt it was appropriate to open the branch. This is a big opportunity." Vice President of Lending and Sales, Bryan Myers, noted that the branch has been very active since it started serving members last month. With branches in several communities that supply Crane's large workforce, Myers sees the new WestGate branch as an important service for members working both on and off of Naval Support Activity (NSA) Crane. He added that they hope to attract new members through the new branch as well.
