Legislative Agendas

LEGISLATIVE EVENT SERIES

The Chamber ALX hosts several Legislative Events throughout the year that provide opportunities for our members to meet and hear from elected officials at the local and state level as well as have worthwhile discussions on current issues.

This series kicks off in March with our General Assembly Breakfast, where we welcome members of the Alexandria Delegation of the General Assembly to share their thoughts on the most recent session.

In late spring, we host the Alexandria City Council Breakfast which features a conversation on current issues facing businesses in the City.

In September, our wildly popular Legislative Reception provides members and guests with the opportunity to mingle with elected officials, City staff and community leaders. This event also features the unveiling of the Chamber’s Legislative Agenda for the coming year.
