On Oct. 30, MWC’s Tracy Baynard moderated her final Loudon Chamber PolicyMakers forum. Her time as chair of the chamber’s Public Policy Committee ends Dec. 31, and she couldn't be prouder of the conversations they’ve had this year. “The State of the Energy Market” forum was a fantastic event, packed with insights into the evolving energy landscape -- Northern Virginia along with the commonwealth are growing, and the electrification of everything is driving demand. Speakers and attendees discussed the need for multiple ‘clean and cleaner’ energy sources, energy efficiency both in residential and commercial uses, and the need for broader community discussion. Dominion Energy, Virginia’s Department of Energy, Loudoun County government, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce leaders discussed innovative solutions to the region’s power needs, from small modular nuclear reactors and advanced battery storage to district energy systems.

Reflecting on an incredible evening at the 2024 VIRGINIAforever Bridge Builder Celebration! Coordinating this annual event is truly an honor, as it brings together leaders and advocates who are deeply committed to protecting Virginia’s natural resources. A huge thank you to McGuireWoods LLP & McGuireWoods Consulting for sponsoring! This year, we celebrated Dennis Treacy, a founding member of VIRGINIAforever and a true pillar of environmental stewardship across the Commonwealth. From his work as Virginia’s environmental regulator to his roles on numerous boards and organizations, Dennis has truly demonstrated the power of collaboration in advocacy. His commitment to finding common ground has made him an influential and trusted voice in Virginia, and it was inspiring to hear our speakers share personal stories of his impact. Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Boathouse at Rockett’s Landing to honor Dennis and celebrate our shared commitment to land and water conservation. Together, we’re building bridges for a more sustainable Virginia! #VIRGINIAforever #BridgeBuilder #EnvironmentalStewardship #LandAndWaterConservation

At the invitation of Codrin Scutaru and Public Affairs Solutions, a leading consulting firm in Bucharest, MWC’s President, Gov. Jim Hodges, had the honor of speaking to an influential group of Romanian business leaders. Gov. Hodges discussed the upcoming U.S. elections and addressed questions on critical topics, including trade and tax policy, U.S.-European Union relations, and the broader strategic priorities of the United States. Romania, a European Union member nation of over 19 million people, has become an increasingly important partner for U.S. businesses operating in Eastern Europe. The conversation included leaders from major U.S. companies with a presence in Romania, as well as members of Romania’s business community interested in strong U.S.-Romania relations. We’re grateful for the opportunity to engage with such a dynamic audience and look forward to continued partnerships that deepen these cross-Atlantic connections. Thank you, Codrin Scutaru and the Public Affairs Solutions team, for the invitation and hospitality!
