Welcome! Just as the Arlington Committee of 100 fostered open, inclusive and vigorous discussion of issues involving all facets of community life in Arlington for the last 70 years, Advance Arlington continues that tradition - with a new name and logo to reflect our post-Covid determination to be as inclusive, forward-looking and welcoming as possible as we enter our eighth decade of service to Arlington. 
 
Advance Arlington's educational forums remain open to all, and provide a non partisan setting where important, often controversial issues of local and regional interest are addressed by experts, with audience participation in lively Q&A sessions. 
 
Please join us - and JOIN THE CONVERSATION!
