Program
Election day has come and gone. We all know the results but what should we expect? On Monday, December 10, NAIOP Northern Virginia members and guests gathered for the chapter's Annual Meeting and Luncheon. Two of the region's most well-known political leaders, Jim Moran and Tom Davis, also joined us and provided insight about the President and the Congress and what's in store for the greater Washington region. Although Moran and Davis represent the views of different political parties, they have a great rapport and team teach a course focused on politics and campaigns at George Mason University. This relationship was obvious as they generally agreed on what is wrong and how to fix it and at the same time explained how it will be difficult to accomplish given partisan issues in Washington. Both also provided comments on the upcoming 2013 Virginia statewide elections.
Speakers
Jim Moran, U.S. Representative, Virginia's 8th Congressional District

Breakfast Seminar
Building Repositioning
September 25
Program
Over seventy percent of the office buildings in Northern Virginia are more than twenty years old creating one of the latest commercial real estate trends in our area ... repositioning buildings in the market place. Whether it is an upgrading of building systems, a brand new lobby or improvements to the faÁade of the building or all three, owners are finding that they can give existing, older buildings a "new lease on life" and in the process earn attractive returns for themselves and their investors.
Over 250 people joined NAIOP Northern Virginia on September 25 for a breakfast seminar with the developers/owners and architects of several of the region's most recent building renovations. The speakers shared informatoin on the decisions behind why each building was targeted for repositioning, the challenges associated with the work, and the successful outcomes.

Lunch with ... City of Alexandria Mayor William Euille and City Manager Rashad Young
May 23 - Members Only
Alexandria City Manager Rashad Young, Mayor William Euille and NAIOP Northern Virginia Chairman Dave Millard.
Program
On Wednesday, May 23, NAIOP Northern Virginia members had Lunch with Alexandria Mayor Bill Euille and City Manager Rashad Young. Mayor Euille, an Alexandria native, was first elected to City Council in 1994 and has served as Mayor since 2003. Mr. Young is new to the city, with his appointment as City Manager beginning in October of 2011. Before accepting the position in Alexandria, he served as City Manager of Greensboro, North Carolina and Dayton, Ohio.
Alexandria, known for its charming Old Town area, is working hard to embrace the future and impact the quality and quantity of development. In recent years the City has embarked on 'small area plans' for Eisenhower Avenue, the Waterfront, the Beauregard Corridor, Arlandria and Landmark. These plans have provided a vision for the future of these areas. Alexandria has also made substantial changes to its land development programs, including major staff changes, policy clarification in planning and zoning and increasing its investment in economic development. The 2013 Alexandria budget is over half-a-billion dollars with no increase in real estate taxes. Additionally, the City Council has opted for a lower across the board tax increase instead of the C&I tax which would be levied on commercial property owners. This was a great opportunity to learn about the Mayor's and City Manager's plans for the future of Alexandria.

Members Only Lunch with Mary Hynes, Chair, Arlington County Board
March 21
"NAIOP Northern Virginia members gather to hear from Arlington County Board Chair Mary Hynes."
"Mary Hynes addresses NAIOP Northern Virginia members on here 2012 PLACE initiative."
Program
In an effort to help NAIOP members get to know the people who are running Northern Virginia's local governments and influencing the decisions made regarding economic development, land development and the approval process, the chapter holds Lunch with programs. On Wednesday, March 21, NAIOP Northern Virginia hosted Mary Hynes, the 2012 Chair of the Arlington County Board. Chair Hynes was first elected to the County Board in 2007. As a long time civic activist and public servant, she has consistently and effectively led Arlington's efforts to strengthen its government by enhancing civic participation, improving government management, and increasing investment in the County's physical infrastructure. A major focus for Ms. Hynes this year is her PLACE - Participation, Leadership and Civic Engagement - Initiative, which builds on the community's valued tradition of civic engagement known as 'the Arlington Way.' The goal of PLACE is to expand Arlington's civic conversation by identifying and linking the many organizations that serve the community in an effort to strengthen the relationships between these organizations, the people they serve, and the County government. Ms. Hynes also has worked to make government more responsive and effective at the regional level with leadership positions at Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) Board, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG), and by serving as a member of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission. As always, our Lunch with programs are for NAIOP members only.
