GovExec’s An Evening of Honors: An unforgettable night on the Wharf.
Hosted at The Anthem, this celebration invited guests into an experience designed to feel vibrant from every angle — from the dramatic stage and layered décor by Social Supply to the florals by Helen Olivia that transformed the room.
Guests moved seamlessly between inside and outside bars, gathered in the AT&T Lounge, and celebrated two new Hall of Fame inductees over incredible catering by Susan Gage Caterers.
Every detail contributed to a night that felt energetic, intentional, and worthy of the moment.
