From the DRCC President

To Our Valued Members,


Happy Summer! It’s an honor to lead and serve the incredible businesses of the Dulles Corridor—each day, I’m inspired by the connections, resilience, and innovation I see in our community and within our leadership teams and committees. This time is personally meaningful to me because together, we’re building something truly unique: a chamber that champions collaboration and drives real impact for our region. We are building something bigger than ourselves and ask you to be part of the momentum. 


At the Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce, we’re not just another chamber—we’re the only chamber uniquely focused on the dynamic Dulles Corridor, connecting businesses at different stages of development with the region’s fastest-growing economic hub and international gateway. That focus drives everything we do.


June Highlights: Collaboration & Impact


Exclusive Dulles Airport Tour & Luncheon

Partnering with the Committee for Dulles, we toured the Airport Operations Center and later in the week, enjoyed insights from aviation leader Jack Potter, CEO Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. 


Blueprint Virginia 2035

DRCC is shaping Virginia’s future by ensuring our region’s voice is heard in this statewide economic plan—impacting workforce, infrastructure, and innovation.


Northern Virginia Transportation Roundtable

We joined leaders advancing transportation innovation to keep our region moving forward.


Regional Chamber Collaboration

11 chambers including Dulles Regional Chamber had an opportunity to connect with Senator Warner and Senator Kaine. They have challenged our chamber leaders to come together for a discussion on how best to serve during the various shifts in the economy.
