$1.6M raised, 800 guests and four new Laureates
Yesterday, the Washington Business Hall of Fame – Greater Washington's signature lifetime achievement award in business – welcomed its 2024 class of Laureates during a gala held at The Anthem. The Washington Business Hall of Fame (Hall of Fame) recognizes the achievements of Greater Washington’s most accomplished leaders and celebrates their impact on the local economy, surrounding communities, and overall quality of life.
I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity recently to reflect on how the Junior Achievement Community has affected my life. In 2013, I participated in the essay competition that revolved around the following question: “Which will do more to improve life in the United States over the next decade, business entrepreneurs or social entrepreneurs? Why?” I remember reading the question and asking out loud and responding – Why not both?
On March 4th I spent the day in a place I hadn’t been in years (and truthfully never thought I’d be back in) – a 6th grade classroom. I was there in support of “Junior Achievement”, a great organization that is dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.
