The public is invited to the unveiling of the statue honoring retired Virginia State Senator, Charles J. Colgan, on Sunday, September 25, 2016, at 3:00 p.m. This free event will be held at Colgan Hall on George Mason University’s Science and Technology Campus, 10900 University Blvd., Manassas. This will be the Senator’s 90th birthday. There is no charge but please RSVP to [email protected] or 703-993-4705.
Mr. Colgan has contributed greatly to the Commonwealth of Virginia serving 40 years before his retirement in the Virginia Senate preceded by four years on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. He is the longest serving Virginia Senator in the history of the Commonwealth.
The Gala Tribute Committee, composed of business, community, and civic leaders from across the region, held an evening gala in September 2015 to honor the Senator. Committee Co-Chairmen David Brickley, Jimmy Hazel, and Mike Carlin will lead a short program to include the unveiling of the statue of Senator Colgan.
Throughout his long career, Mr. Colgan was involved with numerous initiatives including: freezing college tuition and investing in higher education; the initial funding of George Mason University’s Prince William Campus and the Rt. 234 Bypass; the abolition of the dishonest parole system; pro-family, pro-work Welfare reform, and supporting the recruitment of Micron.
U.S. Senator Timothy Kaine stated at the gala last fall, “There are few Virginians who have contributed as much to our Commonwealth as Chuck Colgan. A lifelong public servant whose leadership in the General Assembly and the business community has been an inspiration to me and so many others, Chuck raised the bar in a way that will be greatly missed in Richmond.”
Please join The Colgan Tribute Committee in the unveiling of the statue honoring Virginia State Senator, Retired, Charles J. Colgan, for his unparalleled lifetime of public service to the people of Manassas, Manassas Park, Prince William County, the Commonwealth, and the United States of America.
