The Alexandria Chamber of Commerce and the Washington Nationals hosted a sold-out breakfast Feb. 12, offering a behind the scenes look at the nuances of running a Major League Baseball team. Keynote speaker Marla Lerner Tanenbaum, one of the principal owners of the Nationals, highlighted the relationship the team has with the Dream Foundation and supporting the community immediately surrounding the stadium.

The event, part of an on-going partnership between the Washington Nationals and the Alexandria Chamber, featured a panel of executives from the Nationals Baseball Club including Chris Gargani, vice president and managing director of sales & client services; John Knebel, vice president and managing director, corporate partnerships and business development; Catherine Silver, vice president, ballpark enterprises and guest services, and Ted Towne, vice president, finance. Guests were provided an opportunity to interact with panel members and posed questions related to the franchise and the business of baseball.
