The Chamber is proud to hold over 100 events and programs per year, and one of our core monthly networking events is our Breakfast Connection

Stop Making Excuses & Make the Most of Each Day

By Ryan Dempsey Argentieri, Silver Mountain Solutions

​If you are feeling easily distracted and unproductive, you aren't alone.

From the recent election and 24 hour news cycle to an increasing dependence on -- and distraction by -- smartphones, collective productivity levels are on the decline.

The occasional low-energy day or a need for contemplative, unscheduled break time can help us refuel and re-energize.

By Todd Dickerson, Arlington Chamber intern through Urban Alliance

​On April 26, 2017, I had the honor of attending a Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) introductory and tour event. My home high school, Washington-Lee High School, alongside Yorktown High School and Wakefield High School, also had the opportunity to participate in the tour of the Alexandria NOVA campus. Within the first two hours of the tour, we were in NOVA’s student auditorium where some of the faculty and a few of NOVA’s full-time students and honorary speakers at the event discussed the different opportunities that students will have while attending NOVA for two years and how some things are different transitioning from high school to college.
