Arlington County COVID-19 Memorial

Tuesday, January 19 | 5:30-6:30 p.m.

Arlington will join communities across the nation in remembering the more than 380,000 people lost by holding a COVID-19 Memorial event that represents national unity and remembrance. County Government has asked that Arlington businesses light their buildings for one hour.

“I hope that every Arlingtonian will join County Government in honoring those who have died, offering comfort to those they have left behind, and committing to defeating this pandemic and recovering,” said Arlington County Board Chair Matt de Ferranti. “Amidst concerns for public safety around inaugural activities, this memorial event offers an opportunity for our community to make a powerful statement of unity while staying home and staying safe.”

Small Business Roundtable: Building an Intentional Business

Wednesday, January 27 | 11:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m. | Virtual Event

Join the Arlington Chamber of Commerce for our Small Business Roundtable presented by 2021 Chair Todd Ihrig, Financial Advisor, Avantax Investment Services.

One of the most valuable questions people should ask each other at a business networking event is “Who is an ideal client for you?” Knowing how to answer this question means taking a deep dive into your business, analyzing not just the raw numbers (quantitative data) but also digging into the “soft” side (qualitative data) of your client relationships. Todd Ihrig, is one of the top 100 financial advisors out of over 4,500 within Avantax Investment Services.

The Chamber's free monthly Small Business Roundtable is an important educational and networking opportunity for small businesses. In order for these events to provide the most value, we'd appreciate your answer to the following questions.
