Leading such a dynamic and hard-working Chamber has been both challenging and rewarding. As I reflect on my time, I am genuinely disappointed at how swiftly it passed. I can say with sincerity that I will deeply miss being at the helm of this exceptional organization. 2024 Chair's Message It is with immense pride and gratitude that I begin my term as the Chair of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce for its 100th year. This significant milestone is a testament to the dedication and collaborative spirit that has defined our Chamber over the past century. Over the years, our Chamber has evolved into a dynamic and influential voice, playing a pivotal role in shaping the business landscape and advocating for the interests of our diverse membership. Business Advocacy 2023 saw the culmination and adoption of many significant policies and projects at the County level. Chief among them was the Zoning Ordinance that permits operators of Temporary Outdoor Seating Areas (TOSAs) to be made permanent, which was adopted by the County Board in July. This was a development championed by the Chamber for several years, as we recognized the tremendous value that outdoor dining provided, both helping our restaurants stay in business and contributing to a more vibrant streetscape. Community Impact This fall, more than 40 sophomores and juniors from Arlington Public Schools visited local business sites through the Arlington Chamber of Commerce's Job Shadow Day, which provided an opportunity for students to experience real-world work environments in their areas of interest. Job Shadow Day was organized by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce’s Education and Workforce Development Committee, in partnership with Arlington Public Schools' Career Center, and was sponsored by Amazon.
