The holiday season is the perfect time of year to take a break, reflect, and focus on gratitude and giving. Choosing to do good during this time of the year is a wonderful tradition to start for yourself or your family. Spend this holiday season giving back to your community through volunteering, performing random acts of kindness, or by making a donation.

Your fellow Chamber members in the nonprofit sector compiled a list of ways you and your business can contribute and give back to the community this holiday season.

As a benefit of the Chamber membership, we offer all members the opportunity to get more involved by joining a committee. The Chamber’s committees are a great way to broaden your network while learning about issues that impact your business and the community. There are a number of open committees to choose from, allowing you to select the committee that best suits your goals and interests.

The Chamber has more than 100 nonprofit members who look to the Community Action Committee to connect the Chamber’s business and nonprofit members for the greater good of Arlington. The CAC serves the Chamber and gives back to the community is through coordinating several of the Chamber’s signature events and by hosting nonprofit forums. With the committees’ help, this year the Chamber paired over 260 volunteers with nonprofit sites across Arlington to accomplish various service projects during Volunteer Arlington Day.

To learn more about the Community Action Committee, we present the Chair, Linda Kelleher, Executive Director at Culpepper Garden.

Work-life balance has become a hot topic, thanks in part to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) work policies, and the mobile devices that keep us digitally tied to the office 24/7. There are thousands of articles on how to maintain personal sanity in the always-on work culture of today, but what about maintaining your digital dignity?

87% of employers rely on employees to use their personal smartphones for work purposes, and estimates show that we do just that roughly six hours per week, so we know that most people carry their work with them wherever they go. Our home and work life are now frequently shared on one device, which is both good and bad.

So how exactly does a girl from Delaware get to the Chamber? Well, the first stop is in Dallas at the University of Texas for a degree in Computer Science. Then it’s back to the East Coast to work for a software company in Courthouse Plaza in Arlington, VA. After quite a few years, the next stop is at a D.C. catering company where things are crazy, exciting, and exhausting. And then, here I am!

Makes perfect sense, right?
