I am thrilled to announce that What’s Happening RVA has completed its first year.
When I started this group, it was just a passion project to help bring local professionals connect. Today, thanks to you, it has grown into one of RVA’s premier networking communities.
I can’t take all the credit. Our incredible members made this happen by sharing my vision, inviting their networks, and showing up with enthusiasm month after month.
What I’m most proud of is that even with all our growth, we’ve stayed true to our core: a fun, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming approach to networking that keeps getting better.
I’m excited to share a look back at our first year. It’s truly been an amazing journey — and we’re just getting started.
