Message from the Chair

Dear Business Leader,

I am honored to serve as your 2016-2017 Chair of the Board of Directors for the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce, formerly the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce.

In 2016, we transitioned from the Fairfax Chamber to the Northern Virginia Chamber to reflect the regional role the Chamber had been fulfilling. Building upon its rich history with over 90 years in business, the Northern Virginia Chamber will continue to be the Voice of Business in Northern Virginia™.

The Northern Virginia Chamber is the preeminent membership organization in the region for businesses to grow through relationship building with stakeholders and engagement in partnerships throughout the Metropolitan Washington Region.

Representing local employers with more than 500,000 regional employees, the Northern Virginia Chamber is the region’s leading voice for business advocacy, thought leadership, business development opportunities and key community partnerships.

I encourage you to use the Northern Virginia Chamber as a means of developing relationships and participating in dialogue on issues key to our regional business community. This is not just a place for one person from your company – there’s a place in the Chamber for everyone from your business. I encourage you to commit to making the most of your Northern Virginia Chamber membership.

While the last few decades of economic growth serve as a strong foundation for the future, as a region we must continue to evolve to compete and thrive. We must rally together to overcome obstacles to our success. Our goal in the coming year will be to attract new, diverse voices to join us in helping to build the future of this organization and this region.

I look forward to working with you and your business to ensure Northern Virginia remains one of the best places in the nation to do business.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Aument

In 2015, the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Executive Committee went through a strategic planning process to complete the 2015-2018 Strategic Plan. This plan determined that the Fairfax Chamber should take on a more regional role.

In November 2015, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to rebrand and restructure to the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce.

The Northern Virginia Chamber is an answer to the call from businesses and political leaders for a regional business voice and more accurately reflects a role the Fairfax Chamber had fulfilled for quite some time.

In January 2016, the new Northern Virginia Chamber brand was unveiled and the Chamber officially began its regional operations.

The Northern Virginia Chamber leads the region in advancing innovative solutions to key priorities in transportation, education, workforce, economic advancement, and balanced regulation.

Representing nearly 700 member companies, which in total employ more than 500,000 regional employees, the Northern Virginia Chamber is the region’s leading voice for business advocacy, thought leadership, business development opportunities and key community partnerships.

ACCESS TO DECISION-MAKERS AND TOP ELECTED LEADERSProviding members with access to elected officials at the local and state government is paramount to the Northern Virginia Chamber’s advocacy program.

In October 2016, the Chamber partnered with the Greater Washington Board of Trade and the Prince Geroge’s Chamber of Commerce for the 2nd Annual Capital Region Business Forum. The forum provided Governor Terry McAuliffe (D-VA), Mayor Muriel Bowser (D-DC), and Governor Larry Hogan (R-MD) the

opportunity to discuss their plans to work cooperatively to bolster the regional economy in an ever competitive global marketplace. The event addressed opportunities and challenges that affect the District of Columbia, the State of Maryland, and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Northern Virginia Chamber members participated in the annual Viva Virginia reception in Richmond with the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Delegates, and leaders from across Northern Virginia and the Commonwealth.

In 2016 the Chamber expanded the event’s reach, co-hosting Viva Virginia with the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, the Asian American Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce, and the Prince William Chamber of Commerce.

The business advocacy offerings of the Chamber also include opportunities to participate in events such as bipartisan roundtables with Congressional and Senate leaders as well as intimate meetings with elected officials, Virginia cabinet members, and other policymakers across the Commonwealth.

NOVABIZPAC Ensuring that Northern Virginia has an active voice in the legislative process, the Chamber established the Northern Virginia Business Political Action Committee (NOVABIZPAC) in 2002 to support Virginia legislators and policymakers who promote a favorable business climate and a high quality of life in Virginia.
