Alex Beiro, Jr., President of the Virginia Wireless Association (VAWA) died unexpectedly last week. Beiro recently served as host to over 200 golfers in Williamsburg, VA at the association’s annual outing. On a personal note, I was honored to be asked to play in his foursome for the event and not only enjoyed his company but witnessed the respect, good humor and camaraderie he shared with all of the attendees. Beiro died of an apparent heart attack, November 19, at his home in Alexandria, VA. Most recently, he had worked at Jacobs Engineering as a Zoning Manager and had served in similar posts with NXG and NB+C. Virginia Wireless Association Vice President Michael Harvey said, “Alex and I worked together for many years on the VAWA Board of Directors. When Alex took over as President he brought an inspired, innovative approach, always pushing the Association in a positive direction. He was a dedicated leader who brought great ideas and a positive attitude. Alex was passionate about helping those in the community and the industry through his platform. His love for his sons shined through in all that he did and were the center of his universe. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.” Continue Reading
