HOPE IN THE CITIES PROGRAMS
Metropolitan Richmond Day
Metropolitan Richmond Day is an annual event that regularly draws leaders from the public and private sectors together to discuss issues of key concern to the Richmond, Virginia region.
Hope in the Cities presents the 2008 Metropolitan Richmond Day on Thursday, November 20, 7:30am; please join us for a community breakfast and forum at the Downtown Richmond Marriott hotel
In his recent report to the Richmond community Dr. James Crupi said ‘Regionalism is not just about projects but about relationships.’ These events will further our region’s “honest conversation” on Building Trust in the Region.
The breakfast speaker, former Mayor of Charlotte, NC, Richard Vinroot, will address 600 community leaders drawing on his experience of forging creative partnerships. ‘We must get over protecting our turf, our parochialism. If we have a poor road system, poor schools, poor neighborhoods in our region we all suffer.’ At the public forum following the breakfast Mayor Vinroot will engage with a panel of Richmond citizens to explore historic perspectives, current realities and future hopes for regional cooperation in the Richmond metropolitan area.
Please plan on joining us and invite your friends and colleagues. Does your organization want a table? Table sponsorships are available for corporations, non-profits, government and community organizations.
Call us at 804 358 1764 or email us to reserve your table or for more information.
