The Chamber and the Northern Virginia Back to Work Coalition have released our priorities for the Special Session of the General Assembly, beginning today (August 18).

Keep an eye out in early August for the Chamber’s legislative priorities for the Special Session. In the meantime, please contact me at cmedford@novachamber.org with any questions or concerns.
