Matthew Freeman, Community Facilitator for Hope in the Cities, facilitated a discussion at Leadership Metro Richmond’s spring luncheon program on May 15 using audience response keypads.

Using this interactive technology 180 LMR alumni shared their ideas about the future focus of the 29 year-old program which has a network of 1,700 graduates.
