PMI SWVA Chapter Event - Leadership Programs in SWVA
Discover how local leadership development programs can be a powerful catalyst for your personal and professional growth. In this engaging session, representatives from Leadership New River Valley, Leadership Roanoke Valley, and Leadership Lynchburg will share how their programs equip emerging and experienced professionals with the skills, connections, and community insight needed to lead with confidence.
These programs go beyond traditional classroom learning—offering hands-on experiences, cross-sector collaboration, and meaningful exposure to regional challenges and opportunities. Participants gain practical leadership skills, expand their professional networks, and build lasting relationships with peers and mentors who are shaping our region’s future.
