Board of Trade honors Jeremy Blank at Annual Chair’s Dinner

Each year, the Board of Trade honors our outgoing Chair with an evening of celebration alongside board colleagues, coworkers, family, and friends. We were proud to host our Annual Chair’s Dinner recognizing Jeremy Blank, our 2025 Board Chair and a principal at Deloitte, in downtown Washington, D.C., at The Hay-Adams.

In 2025, the Board of Trade welcomed 29 new members, delivered 120+ programs and gatherings, achieved 91% member retention, and expanded our reach through stronger regional engagement in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

Throughout his term, Jeremy helped guide the Board with steady dedication and a clear commitment to strengthening the Greater Washington region. His chairmanship reflected what makes this organization unique: a shared belief that when business leaders come together with purpose, they can help move the region forward.

Thank you to our board members, invited guests, and everyone who made the evening special, including a warm welcome for incoming Chair Tyler Anthony. Building on this year’s progress, we look forward to advancing our region’s work in 2026.
