The Chamber recently kicked off the 2016-2017 academic year of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) with student and parent orientation. 12 of the best and brightest middle and high school students with entrepreneurial spirit will be participating in this year's program.
"We are excited to have these exceptional students participating in the program, and we look forward to watching them grow as young entrepreneurs and pursue their business dreams," said Chamber President & CEO Kate Bates.

Registration and more information can be found on our webpage. The deadline to sign up is Thursday, November 4 at 5:00 p.m. For questions regarding registration, please contact Hannah Dannenfelser at (703) 525-2400 or
