Win a Trip to Budapest, Hungary!
The Arlington Chamber is excited to
offer our membership an international opportunity of a
lifetime! Our Chamber has recently become sister chambers with
the Budapest Business Chamber, or BBC.
The BCC is newly formed by a former Arlington
Chamber member, Orsolya Enekes. We knew her
as Orsolya Kuli, her then married name. Enekes
is co-director of the BCC, and she hopes to
bring the same advantages and opportunities that American
chambers give its members to those living in Budapest,
Hungary. Hungary has become part of the European Union;
however, their history with Communism has prevented them from
becoming a business community that communicates. "There is no
word for 'networking' in Hungarian-nothing whatsoever," states
Enekes.
The Arlington Chamber's 'sister'
relationship with the BCC is one that
offers friendship, experience and international opportunity.
The BCC is thanking our Chamber by inviting an Arlington
Chamber member to Budapest, Hungary to mentor and guide
their membership in the areas of networking. The goal is to
advise the BCC leadership on the tools
needed to run a successful chamber. The mentor will teach
the BCC how to network and how to use
networking for business growth.
How can you become a mentor to the
BCC and win a trip of a lifetime? Our
Chamber will offer this trip to the Arlington Chamber member
who joins the most new members between now
and December 31, 2007. So start finding new members now!
What are you waiting for?

Virginia-Best State for Business, 2nd Year in a Row!
Virginia has remained in the top spot thanks to one of the
lowest unemployment rates in the country, strict policies to
protect the environment and of course, due to the many large
companies and government contractors that do business in our
state. Virginia did score poorly in both polls' cost of
living categories and must strive to keep up with competing
states; especially those making strides in all areas of
business, like Washington and Utah, and those already in the
winners circle, North Carolina and Utah.
