Is Arlington “bike-a-licious”? That is how 14-year-old Emran recently described his vision for the most bike-friendly community he could imagine. And, here at Phoenix Bikes, we want to be a part of making life more bike-a-licious for all local kids.

Emran is one of about 500 middle and high school students per year who are benefiting from Phoenix Bikes, a nonprofit community bike shop in South Arlington that educates youth.

The Ambassador Committee works to strengthen the Chamber membership by making every member feel welcome at Chamber events and encouraging them to become involved. This amazing group of volunteers are the first Chamber members many of us meet, and are always friendly faces throughout our memberships.

Our Ambassador Committee looks to reach out to new members in their first year, serving as an additional resource as long time Chamber members.
