Campaign Kickoff Event Scheduled - October 7th

The Greater Richmond: Globally Focused, Regionally Competitive Campaign is well under way and the Campaign Kickoff Event is scheduled for October 7th at 6:00 PM at the State Capitol Building. This event will be held in conjunction with the Greater Richmond Partnership Annual Meeting. Please mark this on your calendar! Details will be forthcoming. 

Campaign Leadership is near completion. We welcome Ranjit Sen of CXI as part of our Pacesetter Division. Once finalized, we will create our leadership roster and make it a part of our presentation materials. The leadership will make up our campaign operations to insure that the campaign will be a success.

The Development Council Membership builds. Recently a mailing went out to invite members of the community to join the Campaign Development Council as a show of support for the 2009-2014 work program. If you have not returned yours, please do so immediately so that we can recognize you in our presentation materials.
