Lifelong Learning and Mentorship

For Success in Today's Workforce

Doug Fabbioli, the 2025 Loudoun Laureate, and Dana Hamerschlag of the Loudoun Laurels Foundation discuss his approach to lifelong learning, mentorship, and the importance of feedback for success.

This program is a collaboration with Loudoun Laurels. 

Recently named “2024 Grower of the Year” by the Virginia Vineyards Association, Doug Fabbioli has focused his career as much on educating the next generation of growers and entrepreneurs as on becoming recognized for the award-winning vintages produced at his own Fabbioli Cellars. To that end, he launched the New Ag School in 2008 to provide a venue for local agribusiness professionals to mentor students on farming practices, value-added processes, and hospitality—all in the interest of vitalizing Loudoun County’s agricultural economy and ensuring its continued robust growth.
