The Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties is pleased to announce new partnerships aimed at distributing J’s Journey: The Life, Leadership, and Legacy of J Hamilton Lambert, written by Gerald L. Gordon, Ph.D.
J’s Journey is a captivating book tailored for practitioners and students of public administration, offering insight into the remarkable leadership of J Hamilton Lambert. The narrative chronicles Mr. Lambert’s dedication to service over six decades, portraying him as a uniquely inspiring figure who has made invaluable contributions to our community.
