The Greater Augusta Regional Chamber of Commerce has partnered with several other Virginia chambers to form an Improve I-81 Chamber Coalition.
Joining the Augusta Chamber in the coalition are the Front Royal-Warren County Chamber of Commerce, Shenandoah County Chamber of Commerce, Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce and the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber.

In addition to accidents, the interstate has truck traffic above its capacity, now accounting for more than 40 percent of Virginia's truck traffic.
The coalition has written Virginia U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, 6th District Rep. Bob Goodlatte, 9th District Rep. Morgan Griffith and 10th District Rep. Barbara Comstock for their assistance in getting federal funds for I-81 improvements.
In the letter, the coalition asks the congressional members to "appeal to the current administration and work collaboratively to secure funding solutions that will address this significant need." Read more: Daily Progress


New Danville-Pittsylvania County chamber leader has ‘genuine passion for our region’

Alexis Ehrhardt’s mother instilled in her the importance of education, public service and making a difference in her community.
“She was someone who valued inclusion and equity over just about everything else,” Ehrhardt, a Rockville, Maryland, native, said during an interview at her office at Averett University on Thursday morning. “She used to take me to marches in [Washington] D.C. and strap a billboard on me.”
On Jan. 2, Ehrhardt, 39, will apply what she has learned from her late mother and throughout her career on a region-wide scale when she becomes the new president and CEO of the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce.
Ehrhardt, the executive director of Averett’s Center for Community Engagement and Career Competitiveness, was announced as the chamber’s new director Dec. 6.
“Alexis has such a genuine passion for our region,” Chamber Board President Bert Eades said in the written announcement to chamber members. “The combination of this passion and her proven track record of organizational leadership impressed everyone on the search committee.”
Ehrhardt, current president of Riverview Rotary, holds a bachelor’s degree in Latin American and Caribbean studies and Spanish — with a minor in history — from Emory University, a master’s degree in higher education from the University of Virginia and a doctorate in leadership studies from Lynchburg College.
“My parents believed in serving your community and in educational excellence,” she said.
Ehrhardt will replace Laurie Moran, who died of cancer in June at 56. Moran was president and CEO of the chamber since 2002. Betty Jo Foster has served as interim president since Moran’s death. Read more: GoDanRiver.com

Chamber breakfast: Loudoun supervisors address business community on top issues


With the start of a new year, Loudoun faces several challenges, but with every challenge, there is also progress, three Loudoun supervisors told the county business community at a Chamber of Commerce Breakfast Thursday.

Chairwoman Phyllis Randall (D-At Large), Vice Chairman Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) and Supervisor Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin) spoke on several topics, including a strained transportation system, the arrival of Metro, the Envision Loudoun Comprehensive Plan process, a housing shortage and growing costs and budgets.

Randall noted the Envision Loudoun process, compensation and class study and Metro capital funding as challenges the board is facing.

Higgins said that while he was one of the members from the past board who voted against bringing Metro to Loudoun, he is optimistic that the county will find solutions to the financial and safety challenges facing the mass transit system.

Buona said the Metro is on schedule for testing and Loudoun residents should see services to Ashburn in 2020. Of the three parking garages Loudoun has pledged to build, one is almost done and the other two are going through the design process and will be done by May 2019.

The tax district revenue is on target with the 2011 projections and land value around the Metro stations has increased, Buona also said. Read more: Loudoun Times

Tysons Chamber installs 2018 board, plans new events

The Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce enjoyed a successful 2017, gaining 60 new members, and will add some new events in the year ahead.
“It was a pivotal year for the chamber,” said 2018 board chairman Virginia Case at a Jan. 5 breakfast meeting at the Tower Club in Tysons.
Case began her remarks by noting she had been an avid musician as a child, even playing violin at Carnegie Hall at age 6, but discovered after one semester in college that she wanted to pursue a different path.
Case was working for a small business in Tysons when she joined the chamber and soon began meeting, befriending and learning from other professionals through the organization.
“It was through the chamber that I gained confidence in my own abilities,” said Case, who founded her own agency in 2017. Her goal is to make the chamber an organization that enables people to make the leap she did and start their own businesses.
The chamber this year will retire some previous events, such as a 5-kilometer race, and replace them with new activities and networking opportunities, Case said. These will include an interactive restaurant month in April, an awards gala and non-profit showcase in June, a distillery event in September and a live-music event in December, she said.
U.S. Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-11th) swore in the 2018 board and noted that a certificate he’d submitted for the Congressional Record regarding the board’s new members had passed unanimously.
The chamber’s 2018 Executive Committee will consist of Virginia Case of Strategic Tactical Marketing, chairman; Josh Brady of Williams Mullen PC, vice president of membership; William Daly Jr. of Rees Broome PC, general counsel; Jonathan LaCroix of Cox Communications, chair of the Community Engagement Committee; Maureen Loftus of LearningRx, chair of the Youth and Education Committee; David MacGillivray of Human Capital Advisors, treasurer; Chris Tomseth of Money Mailer of Tysons, vice president of marketing; Jerry Ferguson of Fairfax Public Access; and Kathleen Kelley of Protorae Law PLLC.
