We were honored to join fellow business and community leaders at the Roanoke City Manager’s Business Breakfast, hosted by the City of Roanoke Department of Economic Development. Events like this highlight the power of collaboration in shaping a strong, forward-moving local economy. Thank you to Marc Nelson, Lisa B. Soltis, and Alicia Cundiff for bringing such a thoughtful group together!
When city leadership, employers, lenders, healthcare organizations, and advisors come to the same table, meaningful progress happens. It was inspiring to connect with leaders across industries, including Charles Downs, Aileen H., Betty Hess, MAOM, and Tyler Holley, all of whom are committed to long-term regional success.
A special thank-you to Valmarie Turner, Roanoke City Manager, Joe Cobb, Roanoke City Mayor, and the Economic Development team for creating space for these conversations and keeping the focus where it belongs; on business growth, innovation, job creation, and smart development.
Our team is energized by these discussions and proud to support the business owners who drive our region forward every day!
