Last night at the WDBJ 7 community room, members from seven of the region’s young professional groups met to discuss ways in which each group could work together collectively in shaping the future of the region.

A special thanks goes to Nicole for her work in putting this group together.

Many things were said, discussed and shared. New relationships were informed. New energies were created. A list of follow up items emerged. Positive feelings oozed as a result of the discussion.

In the short-term each group agreed to participate and promote the July 6 First Fridays at 5 in downtown Roanoke at the railside amphitheater on Salem Avenue across the street from the bus station. Young adults from these groups and other not affiliated with a group are encouraged to come to this event to support the first of hopefully many joint efforts.

Stay tuned more on this meeting to come…
