Greater Washington Partnership CEO steps down

Greater Washington Partnership CEO JB Holston is stepping down, with Thursday as his last day, though he’ll stay on as a senior adviser to the board and leadership through the end of the year, per the leadership’s request, the organization has confirmed to the Washington Business Journal. His sudden departure comes just one day after the regional business alliance held a high-profile event, featuring Vice President Kamala Harris, to announce billions of dollars in commitments — some of it already allotted or spent — from 25 of its member organizations toward inclusive growth across five years.
