Workforce Committee Mission
To educate, empower, and advocate for a thriving regional workforce by connecting employers, educators, and community partners—driving innovative programs that meet today’s needs and prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities.
Workforce Committee Vision
To unite chamber partners in building an agile, inclusive, and future-ready workforce ecosystem that keeps the Dulles region competitive and adaptable across all industries.
Why Join the Workforce Committee?
- Award-Winning Leadership: Recently named Committee of the Year for 2024, our Workforce Committee is shaping the region’s workforce landscape in ways unmatched by typical business groups or HR roundtables.
- Direct Community Impact: We partner with schools to shape internships and mentorships, connect K-12 and university events to business goals, and roll out state-of-the-art programs in payroll, health benefits, and HR compliance.
- Forward-Thinking Programs: In 2025, we’re launching groundbreaking initiatives on entrepreneurship, quantum internships, and Partnership Roundtables for healthcare, tech, cyber, and skilled trades—keeping you on the cutting edge of hiring, development, and industry need.
- Influence and Access: Our committee provides rare chances to work alongside top employers, educators, and policy leaders, helping you shape both local talent pipelines and your own organization’s workforce strategies.
- Measurable Results: From the high-impact INNOVATE conference—driving awareness and tangible outcomes for workforce development—to everyday collaboration on real-world challenges, we make a difference for businesses, educators, and the community.
How We Stand Out
While many top chambers offer workforce councils, the Dulles Chamber’s committee leads the region in action, not just conversation: recognized innovation, deep cross-sector outreach, and hands-on success in linking talent to opportunity. The result is a Chamber truly positioned to drive workforce transformation across industries—from tech and trades to healthcare and entrepreneurship.
Join us—be at the heart of shaping the Dulles region’s future workforce, and put your talent, vision, and leadership to work where they’ll yield the strongest returns for you and your community.
