FAIRFAX CHAMBER CELEBRATES 90TH ANNIVERSARY

In 2015, the Fairfax Chamber celebrated its 90th Anniversary at its new headquarters at the Silver Line Center in Tysons Corner, Virginia. Founded in 1925, the Chamber has grown to be the preeminent Northern Virginia membership organization for businesses. The event was a celebration of leaders past and present and honored the Chamber’s profound impact on the Northern Virginia business community including its role in the creation of Leadership Fairfax, Northern Virginia Technology Council, The Foundation for Fairfax County Public Schools, and Visit Fairfax.

More than 300 business leaders, community representatives, and elected officials were in attendance. Local restaurants provided tasting samples for guests who enjoyed a successful networking event. The Chamber was also proud to feature the Children’s Science Center as a charity partner, for which $5,000 was raised.

Local legislators honored the Chamber with recognition and congratulations for this momentous occasion. Delegate Tim Hugo (R-40) patroned a resolution honoring the Chamber for its 90th Anniversary; Senator Warner produced a video that can be viewed on the Chamber’s YouTube page; and Congresswoman Comstock recognized the Chamber in the Congressional record.

DEMOGRAPHICS



BUSINESS ADVOCACYThe Fairfax Chamber is THE VOICE OF BUSINESS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA™ before the local, state and federal government.

BUSINESS ADVOCACY The Fairfax Chamber’s robust legislative program advances pro-business policies in critical areas like transportation, technology, health care, government contracting, hospitality, taxation and more.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY SESSION During the 2014 and 2015 General Assembly Session, the Fairfax Chamber achieved a number of legislative victories, including: • Securing passage of legislation intended to protect the integrity of a major transportation reform and funding

plan. • Defeating legislation to alter the Public-Private Transportation Act that would have discouraged private companies

from investing in Virginia infrastructure projects. • Successfully opposing a countywide meals tax proposal that would have adversely affected Fairfax County

restaurants, caterers, hotels and residents. • Securing passage of legislation that would end a two-year moratorium on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. • Defeating legislation to increase Virginia’s minimum wage from its current federally mandated level of $7.25 per

hour.• Securing passage of legislation to direct the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to amend its

regulations to permit food truck vending on state highway rights-of-way.

ACCESS TO DECISION-MAKERS Providing members with access to elected officials at all levels of government is paramount to the Chamber’s advocacy program. In 2014, the Chamber hosted 4 political debates and town halls, including the marquee race for U.S. Senator from Virginia with Republican candidate Ed Gillespie and Democratic candidate Senator Mark Warner. The debate aired live in prime time on NBC4 and NBC affiliates across the Commonwealth as well as on C-SPAN 2 and was moderated by highly respected journalist and host of NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd. The debate was streamed live on NBCWashington.com, NBC Washington News App, and the Fairfax Chamber website. The event was also available on COX On Demand, Comcast On Demand and on NBCWashington.com. In addition, Chamber members participated in the Fairfax Chamber’s annual Viva Virginia event in Richmond with policymakers, including the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House of Delegates. The business advocacy offerings of the Chamber also include opportunities to participate in events such as bipartisan congressional roundtables and meetings with elected officials, cabinet members, and other policymakers across the Commonwealth.

NOVABIZPAC Ensuring that Northern Virginia has a voice in the legislative process, the Chamber established the Northern Virginia Business Political Action Committee (NOVABizPAC) in 2002 to support Virginia legislators and policymakers who promote a favorable business climate and a high quality of life in Virginia.



VALOR AWARDS

The Valor Awards honor the bravery and dedication of first responders in Fairfax County from the Police and Fire & Recue Departments and Office of the Sherriff. In 2015, NBC4 Morning Anchor Aaron Gilchrist served as emcee for the event, held March 26th at the Westfields Marriott.

The Valor Awards are one of the most anticipated events among the public safety community. Nearly 500 attendees come out annually to honor those who protect Fairfax County businesses and citizens daily.

CHAR-A-OKE

Since 2011, Char-a-oke (charity karaoke) has quickly become one of the most exciting traditions at the Fairfax Chamber. This annual fundraiser brings together the region’s most prominent businesses, executives and elected officials who let their hair down and belt out their best karaoke tunes.

Char-a-oke was created as an annual fundraiser to support local non profit organizations. Since 2011, Char-a-oke has raised more than $300,000. In 2016, a portion of proceeds from the event will go to Operation Renewed Hope Foundation, which provides quality housing and supportive services to our Nation’s homeless Veterans.

LOOKING AHEAD

The Fairfax Chamber encourages its members to participate in strategic community partnerships as a part of their business model. Our partnerships align to key national issues of concern to the business community including:

• Education (particularly STEM)• Workforce Development• Veteran’s Employment• Preventing & Ending Homelessness

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS



COUNCILS & COMMITTEESCORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY COUNCILThe Fairfax Chamber’s Corporate Social Responsibility Council (CSR) provides thought leadership on corporate social responsibility as a critical component of business strategy. Specific areas of focus include best practices in social responsibility, ethical accountability, economic viability, and environmental stewardship.

In 2014, the CSR Council organized a panel on effective communication pro bono strategies. The event focused on the role of social media and digital communications within a pro bono communications strategy, how to communicate pro bono strategies to recruit and retain top talent, and return on investment as a result of effectively communicating pro bono plans.

The CSR Council kicked off 2015 with an event titled “How Your CSR Efforts Can Impact Your Community,” moderated by Patricia Stevens, Executive Director, Fairfax County Office of Public Private Partnerships. The event focused on how businesses can create both social value and corporate value through strategic CSR integration into core business processes and stakeholder management. Other areas of focus in 2015 will include: veterans hiring and corporate sustainability reporting.

ECONOMIC COUNCILThe Economic Council works to promote the economy of Northern Virginia to the regional, national and international community, thus raising awareness of economic trends and issues facing our region and equipping businesses with the information needed to make informed decisions.

Each year this group convenes for an Economic Outlook featuring a high profile economist or entrepreneur and a panel of regional executives discussing the outlook for the coming year for the region and its highest profile industries. In 2014, the Fairfax Chamber partnered with the Washington Business Journal and hosted a panel that included:

• Robert Blue, President, Dominion Power• Jeff Detwiler, President and COO, Long & Foster• Martin Regalia, Senior Vice President for

Economic and Tax Policy & Chief Economist, US Chamber of Commerce

• Joan Dempsey, Executive Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton



Other featured speakers have included David Rubenstein, founder and co-CEO of The Carlyle Group and Steve Case, co-founder of AOL; now Chairman of Case Foundation and Revolution.

To kick off 2015, the Economic Council hosted a hugely successful event titled, “Expanding Into Fairfax County’s International Marketplace.” The event included an industry-diverse panel and allowed the Chamber to engage with a new group of businesses. The following groups attended the event:
