Bob McDonnell Visits NoVa's TiE-DC Business Leaders

Virginia's Governer-elect Bob McDonnell is making the rounds to several Northern Virginia business leaders groups before his official inauguration in ten days, including our friends over at TiE-DC. Today he spent over an hour meeting, greeting and chatting up the TiE-DC entrepreneur community, and then outlined his key initiatives for 2010, including plans to solve the legacy transportation issues and economic development. It was wonderful to meet him in-person and hear his specific thoughts on the opportunities for small businesses and the entrepreneurs that fuel our nation and our state's health.

He also shared today's breaking news of three important cabinet post appointments, including Northern Virginia's own Jim Duffey, who is well-known in the Northern Virginia technology community. Also appointed today were Doug Domenech as Secretary of Natural Resources, and Terrie Suit as Assistant to the Governor for Commonwealth Preparedness.

About 80 attendees came to the joint event open to TiE-DC charter-members  and Republican Indian Community guests.  Thank you Governer-elect McDonnell!
