EVENTS chamber signature gatherings
Lobby Day and Viva Virginia
On January 22, the Northern Virginia Chamber and partners from across the region continued the tradition of meeting with elected and administration officials during the General Assembly session and attending the annual Viva Virginia reception in Richmond. This VIP event has been a tradition for legislators, policy makers, cabinet secretaries, and Virginia’s business community for many years. We hope you will join us next year for this private, premier networking opportunity and legislative reception in our state capital!
