The violence, racial tensions, ugly political discord, and yes, even the pandemic of 2020 have all unceremoniously and relentlessly transitioned into 2021 totally unencumbered.  In fact, with the horrific tragedy of January 6th, they appear to be picking up steam.  The collective impact on businesses and our economy has been devastating.  It’s been equally detrimental to our trust and confidence in our elected leaders.  It has to stop! 

Now that 2020 is in our rearview mirror and now, with the start of the New Year, it appears that things will slowly, yet gradually, improve. Small business owners need to look forward and plan ahead for their future operations in the upcoming year.  While many aspects of business practices have changed and, in some instances rather dramatically, there are two constants on which you must rely; the need for information and the need to communicate.

The Hampton Roads Chamber works to be a powerful economic partner, impactful advocate, inspiring ignitor, and regional collaborator.

Twice a month we will chat with a member of our Executive Committee or a regional business leader to highlight how we are living our mission and setting the conditions for businesses to succeed.

The Hampton Roads Chamber is a premier pro-business organization serving the 757 business community. We are unapologetic about our pro-business advocacy efforts that target policies that strengthen free enterprise and set the conditions for businesses to succeed. Maintaining the “right-to-work” law is a policy we emphatically support because it strengthens our business community.
