Good-bye to my friend Justin Hendrix who served at the Institute in Danville for over a year in promoting economic development and young adult involvement for not only Southside VA, but for all of Virginia. He will return to the Economist in New York. Justin was everywhere in the region and I believe he really understood what it takes to move a region forward. I am happy for his new opportunity, but disappointed… again… that we lose yet another bright mind to the big cities.
