Join us for our First Friday's Speaker Series on Friday, August 1. As part of the Blueprint Virginia 2035 development process, the Virginia Chamber Foundation, in partnership with its statewide network of local and regional chambers of commerce and GO Virginia, will host a series of regional meetings across the Commonwealth. These gatherings are designed to foster collaboration and bring together leaders in business, economic development, workforce, education, housing, and other key industry sectors to provide meaningful input that will help shape Virginia’s next comprehensive statewide strategic plan.  
Participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from Cathie J. Vick, the new President & CEO of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, for an exclusive economic update presentation covering both statewide trends and region-specific insights. 
 Most importantly, participants will engage in interactive discussions to help develop policy recommendations that reflect the priorities and needs of their region and industry.
