Business peers to get together for Winter Gala

The 2013 Winter Gala and Board of Directors Installation will introduce local business leaders to the Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce's new board this March.

The gala will include the swearing in of the new Board of Directors, who will help guide the direction that the chamber will take through the next business year. It is the major social event presented by the chamber and it will feature a keynote speaker, open bars, dinner, live music and entertainment, dancing, a silent auction, and a raffle. Those attending will get the chance to meet some of their business peers whom they may not yet have encountered and to talk to their chamber representatives about what they would like to see happen in the next year.

The Winter Gala will also be an excellent networking opportunity for business leaders in McLean. Business card printing is likely to be called for in preparation, as business professionals strive make sure their contact information is up to date and that the cards are in perfect condition for exchanging with others. It will be a chance for them to grow their referral networks and to learn about companies that can help take their business to the next level of success.

The Winter Gala and Board of Directors Installation will take place at Gannett Worldwide Headquarters on March 1 from 6:30 - 10:00 PM. Tickets are $75 for chamber members or $95 for non-members; sponsorship of tables is available. For more information call 703-356-5424.
