Living Legends of Alexandria Announces 2017 Legends
Today, Living Legends of Alexandria announces its selections for the newly inducted 2017 Living Legends. The 2017 Living Legends were selected from public nominations received throughout the year. These community leaders were chosen through one of two criteria: They led the creation or redevelopment of something that improves the quality of life in the City of Alexandria or, improved the quality of life in the City of Alexandria through many years of service.
Kerry Donley, for his continual effort to expand the economic and business development of the City of Alexandria.
Bill Euille, for his commitment to civic engagement and improving the quality of life for many City of Alexandria residents.
Carter Flemming, for her countless hours of service to over twenty Alexandria organizations.

We invite everyone to meet the new Legends at our Meet the Legends Reception on March 16. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Living Legends of Alexandria organization. LLA is an on-going, not-for-profit photo-documentary project that identifies, honors and chronicles people making current history in Alexandria. The Office of Historic Alexandria archives this documentation so it can be remembered for years to come.
We salute these distinguished Living Legends recipients. Thank you for your work and service to our great city!
