The annual Charles J. Colgan Visionary Award will be given by the Prince William Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

The awards ceremony will be held at Foxchase Manor; 8310 Chatsworth Drive, near Manassas, February 23, 2023, 5 to – 10 p.m.  All awardees must be Chamber members except the Agnes L. Colgan awards, which are open to the public. Nominations must be made by chamber members.

The chamber holds this event to honor the businesses in the community, said spokeswoman Caitlin Stephens. “As the largest Chamber in the area, one of our goals is to recognize the businesses that keep our area growing,” added Stephens.
