On January 11, 2018, the 46th annual Washingtonians of the Year luncheon was held at the Willard hotel to honor 11 local heroes whose hard work, creativity, innovation, and commitment make the Washington DC area a great place to live. More than 100 past winners – many still deeply involved in the efforts for which they were recognized – came to the event to salute the class of 2017.
