The Chamber Celebrates Our
2021 Achievements
|
|
|
|
Last week, more than 250 of Arlington's business leaders celebrated the Chamber’s 97th year and 2021 achievements at the Annual Meeting at the Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel.
During the program, 2021 Chair Todd Ihrig, Avantax Investment Services, and Chamber President & CEO Kate Bates highlighted some of the Chamber’s top achievements from the past year, including our business advocacy efforts and successful execution of numerous new programs.
Incoming 2022 Chair Beth Borowski of CNA introduced the 2022 Executive Committee and announced that Tina Leone of the Ballston BID will serve as the 2023 Chair of the Board of Directors.
Dr. Gregory Washington, President of George Mason University, provided an inspiring keynote speech, which demonstrated how a focus on inclusion can set our community up for success.

For many small businesses with low overhead, COVID gave us the opportunity to do what we were already doing — but better.
I was fortunate my business is designed for remote work, and I had some perspective after surviving a tragic and taxing 2018 and 2019. For a scrappy entrepreneur, COVID delivered me the gift of time and reflection, and — eventually — the pivot.
