Participants will meet one full day a month and will travel to different communities in the county where the group will visit businesses, historical sites, nonprofit organizations, and schools to learn about the incredible opportunities in and around the county as well as specific needs in each community.  Additionally, participants will attend a community meeting each month to gain a greater perspective of government and other organizations committed to improving the lives of Patrick County residents.  Orientation will take place October 8th.  Any individual or business owner looking for an incredible professional development opportunity for themselves or an employee should consider applying.  Contact Sarah Wray at wrayse88@vt.edu with questions.
