Chamber Membership Tips: Using the Chamber Boardroom

By Mike Rosenow, Arlington Chamber of Commerce

There are many perks to being a member of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. ​One benefit to membership in the Arlington Chamber is the ability to rent our Boardroom or Small Conference Room free of charge. This opportunity is perfect for the entrepreneur that may not have a meeting space, a nonprofit organization that wants to have a Board of Directors meeting, a potential client meeting where you may not want to meet at a public location or to have a central meeting location in Arlington.
