Boot Camp
The Westin Indianapolis

The final drill of NEO training is Aim Boot Camp. Just like it sounds, Boot Camp is an intensive three-day conference that is jampacked with instruction from veteran municipal officials and experts in municipal government. A look into the basic operations of government, overviews of municipal finance and specific revenue streams, ethics, purchasing, and much more will be covered by our respected panelists of veteran officials and experts.
Boot Camp promises to be that one place where those new to an office or administration can get their questions answered. For veteran municipal officials, Boot Camp offers many opportunities to refresh your skills and brush up on some of the newest laws and best practices. Highlights of the three-day event are extensive workshops, several peer networking opportunities, a can’t-miss exhibit hall packed with municipal experts, and your own copy of the sought after 2024 Aim Indiana Municipal Officials Handbook.

Featured Speaker Josh Bleill
Don’t miss featured speaker Josh Bleill during the Opening General Session on Wednesday, January 17! After attending Purdue University, Josh Bleill was working in corporate America when, like many of us, the events of September 11, 2001, changed his life forever. Something clicked inside him after that fateful day and, two years later, Josh followed in his father’s footsteps and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 2004, at 27 years old, Josh was off to boot camp. And in 2006, he was deployed to Fallujah, Iraq.
Then, it all went black.
A bomb exploded under the vehicle Josh was riding in. He woke up five days later to the realization that he had lost two friends and both of his legs in the blast. He spent two years of extensive rehabilitation recovering at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. He currently has 32 pins in his hip and a 6-inch screw holding his pelvis together.
Corporal Josh Bleill is now a walking, talking, symbol of hope, using his story to motivate and inspire others. Even with all he’s been through, Josh doesn’t just believe in the American dream. He’s living it.
“It worked out. I’m not going to lie. I worked in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. I travel and do public speaking. The American dream is very possible. Even after something like this, so devastating that I thought things were over, it still worked out,” he said. “In America, if you keep working and things do go wrong, if you have that drive, it’s well alive. It’s always a possibility.”
Josh didn’t just survive. With the help of those around him, he found a way to thrive once again.
