REGISTER Grand Sponsor Job Shadow Day Recap On October 26, more than 40 Arlington Public Schools students visited local business sites through the Arlington Chamber of Commerce's Job Shadow Day. The event began with a kick-off event at Amazon's HQ2 in National Landing. Dr. Liza Wilson Durant, chair of the Arlington Chamber’s Education and Workforce Development Committee and associate provost for strategic initiatives and community engagement at George Mason University gave opening remarks, along with Arlington Chamber President & CEO Kate Bates, and Patrick Phillippi, Senior Manager of Community Engagement for Amazon. Following the kick-off, students visited one of thirteen job sites across Arlington. Over a two-hour period, students at job sites received an overview of the company, were introduced to staff members and learned about career opportunities in that job sector. Our press release can be found here. Photos of the event can be found in our Facebook album.

The Disparity Study will focus on small, women-owned, minority-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned (SWaMDV), and non-profit businesses who conduct business within Arlington and the region. The Study is inviting all business owners who have experiences doing business on County contracts to provide their input and details on their experience.
