Northern Virginians
of The Year 2016
They walk among us, going about their daily tasks. But in their humble ways they are giving back to the community we call home. Here we honor Northern Virginians who are working to promote the arts in the community, supplying female military members with a bit of pampering, advocating for children and those with disabilities and working to make sure our growing immigrant community has a voice. All of our Northern Virginians of the Year make this area a better place to live.
