Fort Monroe Forward: Future-proofing regional growth through placemaking
Aaz Mrozinski, Executive Director of the Fort Monroe Foundation, shares what happens when physical space is activated for people first. From gathering point to economic anchor, she makes the case for why a 200-year-old fort may be one of Hampton Roads' most compelling assets for attracting and keeping the talent and businesses that define a region's future.

Build your network. Find your voice. Be inspired.
Each fall, the WIV summit shares stories of personal success and struggle along with tips and tools for building confidence and influence at work and in the community. Through engaging speakers, interactive workshops, and meaningful conversations, participants will dive into a range of topics, including leadership development, career advancement, and work-life balance.
Virtual and regional events hosted by We Impact Virginia seek to spotlight leaders having great impact in their communities, and the annual one-day summit supports extraordinary leaders while sharing practical insights from their own careers.
