Southern Virginia is in a period of transition—community leaders are retiring, industry is diversifying, downtowns are thriving, businesses are opening and public perception of the area is improving. Despite the uncertainty and challenges brought on by the COVID-19 crisis, it is an exciting time to live in the region.

To realize their regional potential, the next generation of leaders must be prepared to lead from any seat. The cohort will provide a space for emerging leaders from Southern Virginia to serve as learners and contributors in the innovative and engaging environment present at the

Cities Rising Summit.
