Alexandria, VA – Stephanie Landrum, the president and CEO of the Alexandria Economic Development Partnership, has been awarded the 2019 Business Leader of the Year by the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce.
“A great choice by The Alexandria Chamber of Commerce of Alexandria’s Business Leader of the Year!” Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson wrote on Facebook.
AEDP staff congratulated their boss on social media by jokingly asking for a day off to celebrate.
