Virginia Advocacy on Other Topics

Examples of the Chamber’s advocacy in Virginia include:
  • Arlington Chamber Opposition to Making DOLI ETS Permanent January 8, 2021
The Chamber encouraged the Safety and Health Codes Board to not enact the Revised Proposed Permanent Standard for Infectious Disease Prevention of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus That Causes COVID-19 as there remain many concerns that this standard will not minimize disruption and cost in meeting the regulation's health and safety goals.  The Chamber continues to believe that businesses should have flexibility to apply practices that work best for achieving health and safety in their circumstances. The shifting regulatory landscape continues to be a challenge for our businesses’ recovery, especially for our small businesses. 
  • Chamber Expresses Concerns Regarding the Permanency of the DOLI Emergency Temporary Standard September 24, 2020
The Chamber sent a letter to the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry suggesting that the Emergency Temporary Standard for COVID-19 Prevention falls short of the goal of consistent workplace health protection protocols and therefore should not be adopted as permanent. Making this standard permanent and potentially adding provisions could place a significant burden on businesses that continue to struggle with the economic consequences of this pandemic. 
  • Chamber Supports TECH Program Grant September 23, 2020
The Chamber sent a letter to the GO Northern Virginia Grant Review Board supporting Fairfax County Public Schools and Arlington Public Schools' grant proposal to GO Virginia for the proposed TechInnovation and Equity in Computing Hub (TECH) Project. The Chamber supports initiatives and programs to align training and educational programs with projected workforce needs, particularly in the STEM field. 
  • Coalition of Chambers Urges Broad Eligibility for G3 Education Program February 27, 2020
The Chamber joined with other chambers of commerce from across Northern Virginia to call for the General Assembly to restore Governor Northam’s proposed eligibility cap for the “G3” community college financial aid program. An amendment to reduce the maximum household income for participants statewide could prevent an estimated 8,000 potential NOVA students from benefiting from the program due to our region’s high cost of living. The G3 program is a key initiative to support Virginia’s talent pipeline and to help Virginians attain the skills and training for jobs that serve the community.
  • Resolution in Support of Addressing Teacher Shortages in Virginia January 2018
  • BLOG: Virginia General Assembly Convenes with Business, Labor Issues on Front Burner January 11, 2018
  • Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce Letter December 2, 2015
​The Chamber sent a letter to the President & CEO of the Northern Virginia Chamber to express concern about how changing its name from the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce to the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce might cause confusion for many throughout the region, including members of the Arlington business community.
  • Chamber Announces Support for HB 2308 February 17, 2015 
The Chamber announced its support for Virginia HB 2308, legislation that would enable the County Board to hire an internal auditor that would report directly to the Board.
