The Programs Committee meets monthly and selects the top industry local leaders to speak at our monthly breakfast meetings to discuss their company's pertinent growth stories and recent deals that have had a significant impact on our region. The committee also builds programs suitable for the chapter's membership.
The committee typically meets the first Friday of the month at 8:30 A.M. If you would like to become a programs committee member, please contact us at 703-584-0246.
