Loudoun Chamber Seeks Local Heroes for Its Annual Valor Awards

The nomination period is now open for the event, which is in its 29th year.

Know someone who deserved to be recognized for their courage in a crisis situation? Nominees are now being accepted for the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce’s 29th annual Loudoun County Valor Awards. 

Each year, the Loudoun business community pays tribute to career and volunteer emergency first responders as well as ordinary ordinary citizens for their courageous, often lifesaving, actions during the past year.

“The Annual Valor Awards is the Loudoun County Chamber’s proudest tradition, because it provides our members the privilege of honoring our community’s emergency first responders and those ordinary citizens whose heroic and selfless actions, often in the face of great peril, have saved the lives and kept our community safe,” said Tony Howard, president and CEO of the Loudoun Chamber.
