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.

On January 15, Kate Bates was featured on the Ballston BID "BallstonConnect" Podcast where she discussed 2020 and the many challenges it presented to the Arlington community.
"2020 was really a year like no other. We, as the Chamber, had to do things very differently, but through it all the Chamber and our businesses, organizations, and membership have demonstrated innovation and resilience beyond anything we could have ever imagined," said Kate.

The Chamber requested that WMATA reconsider its plan to reduce bus services by 50% and close at 9:00 p.m. starting in January 2022. Though this plan is a part of the closing of its projected budget gap, the Chamber believes that the reduction would inhibit the recovery of workplaces reopening and create inequitable consequences for people whose jobs do not permit telework.
Additionally, t he Chamber encouraged the County Board to accept the proposed ordinance to allow non-commercial banners in the National Landing Business Improvement District (BID). This would allow the National Landing BID to identify and build community across its three neighborhoods, Crystal City, Pentagon City, and Potomac Yard. The Chamber also believes this will approval will enhance neighborhoods in Arlington.
