Tysons Chamber

Last month, I photographed the Tysons Chamber 2017 Breakfast Near Tiffanys event. On this occasion the Woman’s Leadership Committee held this networking meeting at Chef Geoff’s in Tysons. Being that it is next to the Tiffany’s location, the title was perfect!

Although this is a new event from other’s that the Chamber produces, it had a nice friendly feeling. The room was packed, so I tried to work as quiet as I could all things considered. Due to the full tables, and scant room to move, I did not stay there for the speakers. Besides being a distraction, I did not want my shutter to take away from the presentation.

In addition to the business presentations, breakfast, and networking, this was about shopping! Chef Geoff’s is located adjacent to the beautiful Tiffany’s jewelry store. Many of the attendees took advantage of their early opening to continue the event there.

Tysons Tower Club

Last week, I photographed the 2017 Legislative Breakfast produced by the Tysons Chamber at the Tower Club. Since the Virginia legislative session has ended, the panel and speakers gave updates on the bills and budgets passed. Especially for this crowd, the ones that impacted businesses in Fairfax and Tysons were the focus.

Since I was not very familiar with how these sessions worked, I appreciated the overview. Not only did they tell of some of their plans for the future, the panelists encouraged participation. On this occasion there was time to get in front of VIPs in attendance. Dr. Gerry Gordon from the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority was the moderator for the event. Supervisor John Foust, State Senator Janet Howell, Congressman Gerry Connolly, and State Delegate Mark Keam spoke on a panel. Undoubtedly this kind of representation is important for the Chamber. Having this caliber of speakers as a result allows business owners in Tysons some access to our most powerful policy makers.

Tysons, Virginia

Last month I covered the 2017 Tysons Chamber 5K organized at the Plaza in Tysons Corner Center. Unlike the other events I have attended so far, this covered a large area with the race route through Tysons. Above all, I was there to capture the action since it shows how much fun everyone was having! Of course higher participation would make for higher donations to the benefitting organization. But it also shows the reach that this Chamber has in its home area.

Due to this being my first 5K for the Chamber, I was impressed! There were many groups and enthusiasts that enjoyed the timed event. Whenever you plan something like this, you hope for good weather, and this was a perfect morning. The overcast skies made for beautiful conditions for a run. Congratulations to all the sponsors and organizers that pulled off a great event!
