Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance's 2024 Nonprofit Summit: Synergy for Future Innovations
Written by Anna Dodge, James Madison University Summer 2024 Intern
In 1883, a group of business leaders joined together on Main Street in Lynchburg to organize the area’s very first Chamber of Commerce. Now nearing their 141st year, much has changed for the organization, but the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance mission and vision remains the same: to support our members and cultivate a region where both businesses and individuals can thrive.
To continue their mission, the Alliance hosts an annual Nonprofit Summit for all the local nonprofits in our area. This year marks the 3rd annual summit and currently there are just twenty registrations remaining with a deadline of July 24.
The Nonprofit Summit provides leadership development and connections among the Lynchburg region's thriving nonprofit community. The Alliance invites you, your teams, and Board of Directors to join this full-day event energized by inspiring keynote speakers, motivating sessions, and opportunities to connect with other local nonprofit leaders.
“We have a huge nonprofit sector here in Lynchburg and our community, and we really want to make sure that we help them be successful and so this is all about helping them grow and think about the future,” said Mercedies Ramstead, the Director of Events for Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance.
The Nonprofit Summit will be hosted at the University of Lynchburg Memorial Ballroom at 1501 Lakeside Dr, Lynchburg. This event will take place from 8 AM until 5 PM and is full of exciting and useful information and events.
For the summit, admission for a Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance Member is $89 and for all others, general admission is $99. Groups of 3 or more also receive a 10 percent discount applied at checkout.
You can also pay $1,200 to become a table partner. This exclusive deal includes a reserved table with admission, seating for 8, and sponsor benefits, such as your organization's logo on the table, your name listed in the program, presentation, and mentioned in the spoken portion of the event.
