Signature Events
Awards for Chamber Excellence (ACE)
Every year, the Greater Reston Chamber hosts our annual Awards for Chamber Excellence (ACE). These awards recognize the most engaged businesses, members and committees/councils of our chamber community over the past year.
Last year, our ACE Breakfast Ceremony was held in conjunction with the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce's annual board meeting. In recent years, the activities of our annual meeting - which includes the recognition of newly elected members to the Chamber Board of Directors and the transition of the role of Board Chairman - has been conducted separately. We were pleased to bring these programs back together and deliver greater value to our event sponsors, increased attention for our ACE awardee, and more connectivity between our chamber members and our board leaders.
Event Details
Join us for an unforgettable ceremony as we honor Reston's most innovative and inspiring businesses - all nominated and voted from our own members! Be there to cheer on the trailblazers, network with top professionals, and witness fellow members receive their well-deserved recognition. From a sole entrepreneur, small business, non profit and all the way up to industry giants; the ACE awards celebrate the heart and soul of Reston's thriving business community. The award ceremony, along with Greater Reston Chamber's Board Meeting & Induction, occurs typically each June.
