Caryn Durham graduates LEAD VIRGINIA
During a three-day long program, representatives from LEAD VIRGINIA announced and celebrated the efforts of the 2008 graduating class at the Jefferson Hotel Nov. 20-22. Among the graduates included CRA’s senior vice president, Caryn Durham.
During the year, the 2008 LEAD VIRGINIA class visited seven regions throughout the Commonwealth, hosting two-day long sessions to educate participants about regional differences and statewide needs.
“Graduates of the LEAD VIRGINIA program are better equipped to facilitate change throughout Virginia and offer solutions that will carry Virginia into a healthy, competitive future that enriches the lives of all Virginians,” said Susan Horne, president and CEO of LEAD VIRGINIA.
Durham will serve on the Communication Committee for LEAD VIRGINIA as well as curriculum co-chair for the 2009 Richmond session.
Incorporated as a charitable and educational organization in March 2005, LEAD VIRGINIA is patterned after similar models of statewide leadership programs across the nation. Led by a board of directors composed of business, education, government, non-profit and community leaders from across Virginia, LEAD VIRGINIA uses a proven model for developing a statewide network of leaders by engaging academic, business, civic and government advisors to educate class members on the wide range of key issues in Virginia. Sustaining sponsors of the 2008 program include Bon Secours Richmond Health System, HCA Virginia and Philip Morris USA. Additional sponsors include The Harvest Foundation and Norfolk Southern.
