Virginia Main Street Regional Rev Ups
Listen & Learn: Engaging Missing Voices to Inspire Local Action
October 15 (Abingdon), October 16 (Farmville), and October 18 (Orange)
10 AM – 2 PM
Presented by Leanne Tingay and Joan Wagner, Community Heart & Soul
Before you start throwing around project ideas or crunching numbers, take some time to simply listen to what people say about the community. By hearing each other’s stories, community members find new reasons to connect, empathize, and motivate one another. In this fall edition of the Regional Rev Up, learn how to identify what matters most to the whole community to drive local decision-making and action.
