Business Advocacy

The Arlington Chamber of Commerce provides a united voice for the area business community. Located just across the border from our nation’s capital, Arlington is home to a diverse business community comprised of home offices and sole proprietors, brick and mortar storefronts, multinational government contractors, and everything in between. We work hard to bring together the experience, knowledge and commitment of our members to help the Arlington community thrive. With the weight of the local business community behind us, the Chamber advocates to strengthen Arlington’s reputation as a great place to do business.

Each year the Chamber's Board of Directors adopts the Chamber's annual Public Policy Positions for distribution to Arlington's General Assembly delegation and the Arlington County Board. Content of these documents centers on major policy positions as well as reaction to selected positions in similar packages from the Arlington County Board and the Arlington Public Schools. View this year’s Public Policy Positions to the General Assembly and the Arlington County Board and our Public Policy archives.

Because we know that businesses face challenges all year-round, the Chamber never stops advocating. We stay up to date with issues that members face, taking additional policy positions on time sensitive matters throughout the year. View our recent positions.
