The Capitol Hill Association of Merchants & Professionals is a dynamic organization of business and community leaders dedicated to building a strong economic environment on Capitol Hill for business development within the larger Washington, DC, community.

Founded in 1983, CHAMPS represents over 250 businesses, organizations, associations and Capitol Hill residents. CHAMPS membership includes a vast array of business people and professionals who either are located in, or serve, the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

  • Hosting networking opportunities such as quarterly events, business after hours, and lunches;
  • Sponsoring educational opportunities including Breakfast Seminars; and
  • Building relationships and partnerships with various local organizations – both governmental and nongovernmental.
