Our President’s Leadership Council is composed of our region’s top business and industry leaders who have a vested interest in the success of the greater Arlington business community. Known as PLC investors, their financial support of $12,000 to $100,000 annually makes it possible for the Chamber to serve all of our members and advocate on behalf of the business community to all levels of government.
For this commitment to the greater Arlington community, a PLC member receives customized benefits, including high-level interaction and networking with government officials as well as Chamber, education and community leaders. We also give them exclusive recognition and allow them to allocate portions of their annual investment toward event sponsorships.
Thank You to Our President’s Leadership Council Investors
Investor Testimonials
“Being a member of the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce feels like being connected to the heartbeat of our city. For me, it’s not just about business; it’s about relationships. Through the Chamber, I’ve met incredible people, built real friendships and found ways to plug into the community that I might not have otherwise. Our membership in the Chamber has been a blessing to our firm and to me personally!”
Kim Crawford, SFC
“Ask not what your Chamber can do for you, but what you can do for your Chamber. With that mindset, I’ve been able to grow my company and advance my career by doing high-level business with other Chamber Members. The Greater Arlington Chamber is a great place to engage because Together, We Succeed.”
Jim Maibach, Peyco Southwest Realty
