The Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce has had many reasons during his years of membership to thank Billy Thompson. Today, we want to add a special honor by giving him the first “Members Who Go Above and Beyond” Award acknowledging his outstanding commitment to making this Chamber the outstanding organization that each member can be proud to be a part of.

As Chairman, Billy instituted the pivotal changes that led VTRCC into fulfilling its mission to be a strategic link between businesses and the community. His leadership has enabled the Chamber to grow its representation in the Tysons Corner business community, and as a member of the Tysons Task Force he has been a voice for balance between business and community interests. As Chairman, he led the development of the largest non profit representation in any local Chamber. And after his many years of leadership, Billy has once again stepped up to a challenge by serving as Vice President of Membership on the 2008 Board to lead the Chamber to pushing over the 500 member mark by the end of 2008.

Billy’s leadership is so effective because he leads by doing – by being a role model for what Chamber membership can be in its highest form. As the official Chamber Santa Claus, he gives his many gifts to the Chamber and the community all year long. It is a privilege to be able to honor his professionalism and dedication with this award.

Billy has been in the moving business since 1969. In 1976, Billy decided to build his own moving business and for nearly 30 years he has successfully led All Star Movers. All Star Movers (Agent for national Van Lines) is a full service moving company located in Merrifield providing residential and commercial moving to any destination in the world.

All Star Movers has been recognized by Washington Consumer Checkbook and Washington Business Journal for providing outstanding service. In addition in June of 2005, All Star Movers was the recipient of the Vienna Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce’s 2005 Business of the Year Award.

In addition to his Vienna-Tysons chamber activities, Billy is involved with Vienna Rotary, PNA, Greater Merrifield Businessmans Assc., Team Network and the Fairfax County and Virginia Hispanic Chambers of Commerce. Billy is a mentor in the Fairfax County “Be-Friend Program”(similar to Big Brothers) and also serves on Governor Warners Small Business Advisory Board and the Tysons Corner Transportation and Urban Design Committee.

Billy has been a resident of Vienna since the 1950’s where he resides with his wife Pamela. Billy has two adult daughters, Erin and Julie, and is the doting grandfather of Sarah. Billy’s hobbies include all sports (he roots for the home teams) and enjoys golfing, singing and piano.
