Honorable Mention
Scott Pedowitz
The “Civic Duty”
Scott Pedowitz is government affairs manager for the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and grew his distinguished whiskers in solidarity with the local business community. “Friends are moved and humbled to be in his beard’s presence,” his nominator says. (Personally this shot makes us want to book a flight to Havana, but we digress.) Will it become permanent? “Yes—it’s growing on him.”
