Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce


The Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce is a membership based business network located in Fairfax County, Virginia. It represents 650+ businesses and 500,000 employees, making it the largest regional chamber of commerce in Virginia.
The chamber provides the Northern Virginia business community with access to opportunities represented by the Chamber’s four foundational pillars: business development, thought leadership, strategic advocacy, and community partnerships.
In January 2016, the organization restructured itself from the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce to the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce. In August 2018, the Chamber announced that Better Business Bureau Chief Operating Officer, Julie Coons, would be the organization's new President and CEO following a nation-wide search.
