Leading Conversations: Best Practices in Facilitation
Leadership Metro Richmond and the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities are excited to continue offering this educational training to teach best practices in facilitation by gathering safely in the virtual setting. Leading Conversations: Best Practices in Facilitation is intended to strengthen the Richmond region by equipping our community leaders with the tools they need to lead conversations in a manner that is inclusive, informative, and effective. The way we engage with one another is changing and it is important that we are equipped with the skills to not just navigate but also effectively communicate across this ever-growing digital landscape. This program will not only offer up practical tips but will also give participants the opportunity to put their new skills into practice.

Synapse Hub 027
Leadership Metro Richmond is excited to collaborate with ValleyStar Credit Union to launch a new type of networking experience this fall that utilizes the Synapse hub model. ValleyStar Credit Union now has locations in the Richmond area and desires to improve the well-being of its community. In case you are unfamiliar with Synapse, this local organization provides a collaborative environment for individuals to both network and learn from each other while also bringing awareness to local area nonprofits. Our hub (HUB 027) will be slightly different, as we will be highlighting regional issues and accomplishments which may tie into the work of a local nonprofit but could also tie into the work of government entities and/or grassroots organizers. We invite you to join us at one of our upcoming sessions focused on the following topics:
January 26 - Communicating through VUCA (Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity)
February 9 - School Segregation in Virginia
Date: 2nd & 4th Tuesday of the month
Time: 11:00AM - 12:30PM
Location: Zoom virtual meeting roomm
Convening Leaders Rethinking How We House
It is no secret that there is a major deficit in affordable housing across the Richmond region. As we tackle the need for affordable housing, we must also continue to ensure that current residents are able to stay in their homes; homes that are safe and sound. Join us in a virtual discussion with Marion Cake (LMR '20), Vice President of Affordable Housing Development for project:HOMES as we discuss the innovative solutions appearing around the Richmond region from creative new builds to owner-occupied home repair. Learn about a local home made out of shipping containers and the forthcoming revitalization of Bermuda Estate Mobile Home Park. We hope you will join us to both learn and bring ideas to the table regarding how we can think differently about housing solutions in our region.

Woman Speak Your Truth
Creating safe spaces that require trust, invite vulnerability and foster relationships among this region's community leaders is part of the LMR mission. On the first Thursday of every month, LMR in partnership with Rita Ricks (LMR '89) will host a small group of female alumni for authentic conversation around both their challenges and their hopes for the future. We must be comfortable speaking our truth and be comfortable with some disagreement. It's how we grow and make a difference.
