Chamber Day at the
Capitol
It's
here!
As it has
for years, your Arlington Chamber is participating in
Chamber Day at the Capitol, a program of the Virginia
Chamber of Commerce. We invite you to join us and plan
to spend the day in Richmond with Virginia's newly
elected leadership, local chamber members and
executives, and members of the business community.
Virginia's top leadership will address Chamber Day
at the Capitol participants about pressing legislative
issues facing the 2010 General Assembly Session.
We will also discuss a 2010 business agenda and will
have the opportunity to visit our representatives and
share our top legislative priorities. This is your
opportunity to voice your priorities and concerns to
your elected leadership and to strengthen the voice of
the business community!
Our group will meet
in the main event room; see hotel postings for exact
location. We look forward to seeing
you there.

a series of employer awards given by the Department of
Defense. The award will be presented personally by the
Secretary of Defense.
Nominations

of their family, who feels their employer has given
exceptional support to the employee. Nominations will be
