Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of learning and adventure at New River Gorge National Park & Preserve! This session will provide Fellows with a professional development getaway focused on “The Importance of Community Engagement.” There we’ll hear from WV Tourism, the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce, the West Virginia Development Hub, and NRG park leaders, who will share valuable insights while we take in the beauty of the park.

We’ll have plenty of time to network and connect with fellow professionals, and for thrill-seekers, there’s whitewater rafting and ziplining to get your heart pumping. Our first session will be a fun and enriching weekend in one of West Virginia’s most stunning natural gems!
