• We think the "Shop Local" program is a tremendous idea and is another reason we believe in the Chamber. We think the program, or something similar, should be continued after the holidays.

  • The Brown Bag Lunch series not only presents interesting topics in an engaging manner, it also provides a great networking opportunity. I look forward to attending many more in the future because its an effective use of my time and is bringing me tangible benefits in my business.

  • Interstate did a small move for Seth Stark & Associates. One Chamber member helping another. It never would’ve happened if I hadn’t served as Seth’s Ambassador. They were using another vendor for the first part of their move but afterwards told me working with Interstate was the difference between night and day.

    Greater Springfield area/sphere of influence; identifying 300-year-old area as a gateway, connector & destination
  • Colors
    Blue - fidelity, Virginia’s & Fairfax County’s flags’ predominant background color; green - suburban landscape; white – purity
