Each year, the Chamber honors a Veteran with the Lifetime Achievement Award who, through action and influence, has continued to serve others resulting in an extraordinarily positive impact on the Veteran Business Community in the National Capital Region. We are proud to announce the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Glenn Yarborough, President and Chief Executive Officer of WGY & Associates, LLC!
