The trade association and professional society community in the greater Washington, DC region continues to bounce back strong after a period of enormous disruption. Many of these organizations thrived during the pandemic period by unlocking new ways to deliver value to their members and adopting innovative approaches to business challenges.  On June 8, we'll gather to recognize some of those associations that accelerated growth and/or are bouncing back by taking fresh and innovative approaches. Join DCA Live and our partners for this community event to toast the leaders and great teams of our 2023 Red Hot Associations. Come enjoy food, wine and networking with leaders of the DC association and business community.  

DCA Live is excited to recognize some of the fastest growing and most exciting firms in the DC region’s robust and dynamic government contracting community. We’ll profile these red hot companies in the coming weeks and recognize them at a special event on May 17 in Arlington, VA. Join us! You will want to get to know these companies and their founders and senior leaders.

DCA Live is pleased to honor a group of DC-area controllers who have made extraordinary contributions to the growth and health of their organizations over the past 12 months in this challenging economic environment.  This group was nominated by their peers in corporate finance and selected for their excellence and leadership.
