On the balmy evening of September 19, CoVaBIZ staff and guests gathered at Bold Mariner Brewing Company in Ocean View to honor our 2024 NextGen honorees, an impressive slate of young professionals who were selected for demonstrated excellence in their various fields of endeavor, and for their generous contributions of time and talent to the communities they serve.
Also on hand were members of the regional business community, and Bryan K. Stephens, President and CEO of the Hampton Roads Chamber, sent his greetings to the NextGen honorees via a personalized letter of congratulations. Honorees and guests mixed and mingled, enjoying the moderate temps and the brewery’s outdoor patio spaces.
Aside from the excellent libations poured by Bold Mariner’s staff, the evening was made even more festive by the crew at Bar-Q who created a lovely (and ample) charcuterie board and delighted guests with build-your-own tacos, savory barbeque, and a mac & cheese that was to-die-for.
