What's Happening RVA Group

At What's Happening RVA's monthly gatherings, we feature hours of informal networking, plus a dedicated 10 minutes for Members' Spotlight. This gives two members the stage to introduce themselves and their business to the entire group.

And what's a fun gathering without prizes? We follow up the spotlights with a raffle before diving back into making great connections. It’s a simple, effective way to make new connections in a relaxed environment.

We proudly present our August Spotlight Speakers:
