Join us for a day packed with inspiration and connection in the heart of Appalachia!
We will kick things off with a BRIGHT update - the vision, the focus, the future. Then, settle in as BRIGHT changemakers share their success stories, followed by a deep dive into policy trends shaping the region that will inform and impact your work for the months ahead. After refueling with coffee and time with friends, roll up your sleeves for round table discussions on making a real difference in your community!
A special surprise guest will be joining us to send you out into the world with energy and a mission! This legend of the Commonwealth knows all about a good comeback story and brings a legacy of unwavering community service and heart for change.
As the day winds down, we will toast our connections, both old and new, at a festive reception in “The Vault,” courtesy of Elmer Whitaker and the Whitaker Foundation. And when the clock strikes six, the evening is yours: gather some friends and discover your own Appalachian adventure over dinner or attend the SOAR dinner to keep the day of service and impact going well into the night!
Tickets are just $15, but the return on investment for both you, and your employer, is truly immeasurable! You will return to your community following this one-day event informed, inspired, and engaged.
