Upcoming Events

BWGC April Sustainability and STEM Event
Thursday, April 20 from 5:30 to 8:00 pm
Environmental sustainability and stewardship are not merely "add-ons" or afterthoughts, but rather are essential and fundamental responsibilities for all of us. Environmental quality is essential for everyone living and working in our communities. Our April fireside chat and networking event focused on sustainability initiatives in Fairfax County government, corporate, academia, and non-profit sectors. It is the responsibility of each of us to be educated on what we can do to affect change.
