IIAV Connects: Same Storm, Different Boats – How Business in Virginia is Moving Forward

A conversation series featuring people, ideas and solutions. These conversations will take place virtually, via Zoom. We will connect you, your peers and experts to discuss ideas and help you find solutions.

It's been said more times than we can count that COVID-19 has been a great equalizer. While our experiences may not be the exactly the same, we've all been affected as individuals, as teams and as organizations.

We'll sit down with five association leaders who represent different areas of the business community. These professions intersect in countless ways: We'll dive into common challenges faced, creative solutions found, and what the landscape looks like for different areas of commerce across the Commonwealth.

This candid discussion is a powerful opportunity to learn from each other, exchange ideas and generate new and different solutions to benefit the professionals we all serve.
