The Chamber has long been known as the Voice of Business in Northern Virginia®, but the truth is that the power of our voice is drawn from those of our members. Their voices drive our mission, which is why we encourage all members to join the collective conversation!
There are many ways you, as a member, can engage with other members while adding your voice to our Northern Virginia business community conversation today, including what is listed below. They're all included in your membership!
Network and exchange ideas with peers in our Business Councils
We're taking networking with peers a step farther with our Business Councils. Any member can participate in any Council event--for free--without having to join the Council. Councils meet quarterly and are geared to fit a specific industry or professional focus.
