Board of Trade holds 31st Fall Business Classic at National Law Enforcement Museum

The Greater Washington Board of Trade gathered more than 450 regional leaders and business professionals for our 31st Fall Business Classic on Sept. 26 at the National Law Enforcement Museum in Downtown D.C. This annual gathering celebrates the importance of working together to connect our business community.  

The evening was highlighted by the stunning venue, which provided a perfect backdrop for the occasion, along with captivating museum exhibits that offered a glimpse into our nation’s law enforcement history. The event was further elevated by lively and thought-provoking conversations on regional business issues, bringing together diverse perspectives and fostering an atmosphere of high energy and enthusiasm throughout the night. 

Regional collaboration is at the core of the Board of Trade’s mission, which makes convening the region’s leading business executives, community partners, and elected and appointed officials for meaningful conversations a valuable part of enhancing our region and its communities. 

Since our establishment in 1889, the Board of Trade has a history of bringing our region together for meaningful dialogues that lead to action. Over the decades this has included initiating D.C.’s subway development in the 1930s, helping form parks along our beautiful rivers, pushing for the development of the region’s airports, and helping bring organizations together to build entertainment and sporting venues in our region.

To build on that legacy, we continue to foster connections and drive initiatives that have a lasting impact on our community. Our work thrives on collaboration, bringing together diverse voices and ideas to address the challenges and opportunities that shape our region’s future. This event is another step in that tradition, uniting leaders from various sectors to explore new possibilities and strengthen our collective vision. 

We’d like to extend our thanks to all the sponsors, participants, and staff who put in tremendous effort to make this event a success. We look forward to continuing to build a brighter future for the Greater Washington region, one meaningful connection at a time.
