Last night we headed to the 7th Annual Embassy Celebration Dinner hosted by the Greater Washington Chamber of Commerce and Events DC at the Carnegie Library.

GWHCC assists Hispanic businesses and organizations in the DC area. We snapped its president, Angela Franco; the evening's honoree, Embassy of Spain's Cristina Fraile; and Embassy of Austria's Alex Ehrlich-Adam.

The Chamber had a lot to celebrate, as it announced the launch of its international initiative as Latin America continues to be one of our strongest trading partners. Here, Thomas Zinn, GWHCC's Alfredo Casta, Events DC's Linda Erickson, and Western Hemisphere Affairs' Roberta Jacobson.

Congrats to GWHCC, which was recently named Chamber of the Year by the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Here, Embassy of Chile's Rodrigo Contreras and Cyriane Coste bookend the State Department's Brett Hamsik and Thomas Wong.

120 guests ate a delicious three-course meal of mesclun greens with figs, chipotle mango barbecue flat iron steak and shrimp skewers, and miniature pastries. Here, GWHCC's Syddia Lee-Chee and Angela Franco.
