Virginia Government Relations
In Richmond and throughout the commonwealth, The George Washington University seeks to be an engaged policy partner with Virginia’s government, business and civic leaders.
Administrators and staff at GW’s Virginia Campus take an active role in Loudoun County government and regional boards and commissions. These include the Economic Development Commission’s education and workforce committee, the Economic Development Department CEO Cabinet and the Loudoun Convention and Visitors Association.
GW staff serves on the boards of organizations including Volunteer Loudoun, Committee for Dulles and the Northern Virginia Community Foundation. They also share their insight and expertise as members of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, several area chambers of commerce, the Dulles Area Transportation Association and many other regional committees and community groups.
