This week, our amazing Emerge Task Force gathered to discuss all the plans for our 🦋2026 Emerge Women’s Summit 🦋and boy do we have a great summit in the works.

More to come but save the date! Friday, October 23 at the Alliance.

The theme……Clarify. Simplify. Multiply. Why? Because we’ve listened to you....women, both young and seasoned and this theme represents what we’re hearing you need.

So, what if the key to creating greater impact isn't doing more—but becoming more intentional about what you already do best?

We've got a whole day planned to show you just how!

Gather your co-workers and friends and plan on joining us for
🦋Emerge2026! 🦋

At a time when conversations are becoming increasingly divisive and civility can feel increasingly difficult, Leadership Lynchburg is preparing to announce a new initiative designed to help our region address incivility and bring people together to tackle challenging issues collaboratively.

What does that mean for Lynchburg?
That's what we will announce.

Join Leadership Lynchburg and the Alliance for an important conversation about the future of civic leadership in our region—and a new opportunity to help our community approach difficult conversations and challenges differently.

As Leadership Lynchburg approaches its 50th year of developing leaders in the Lynchburg region, we believe there is no better time to invest in how our leaders communicate, collaborate and lead through disagreement.
Members of the media, Leadership Lynchburg Alumni and Alliance members are invited to attend this special announcement and hear what Leadership Lynchburg is bringing to our region.

Megan on the move.

CEO Megan A Lucas kicked off the day at one of the region’s best coffee houses, Marigolds, meeting with community and business leaders to strategize around an upcoming regional housing forum. Perfect customer service, beautiful setting and smart conversation served with yummy coffee.

Housing is economic development. A strong supply of quality, attainable housing is essential to attracting and retaining talent, supporting business growth, and ensuring our region remains a place where people want to live, work, and invest.

Great conversations. Great coffee. And important work happening to help build a stronger future for the Lynchburg region.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate one of our own!

Over the past year, our Vice President of Membership Development, Heath Barret, has served as Chair of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Organization Management’s Northeast Institute Board of Regents. In this national volunteer leadership role, Heath helped lead the planning and delivery of one of the country’s premier professional development programs for chamber and association professionals.

Throughout the week, Heath worked alongside volunteer leaders from across the country to create an outstanding learning experience for hundreds of chamber, association, and nonprofit professionals who will return home better equipped to serve their communities.

At the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance, we believe leadership means giving back not just to your own community, but to your profession. Heath’s service is helping strengthen organizations and communities across the nation, and we’re honored to see the Lynchburg region represented on such an important stage.

Please join us in congratulating Heath and thanking him for his leadership, his commitment to excellence, and the impact he’s making far beyond our region. We’re proud to call him part of the Alliance team!

💙 Congratulations, Heath!
