Megan on the move.

This week, Alliance CEO Megan Lucas is attending the JumpStart® Air Service Development Conference alongside Cedric Simon, Executive Director of Lynchburg Regional Airport , and Marjette Upshur, Director of Economic Development for the City of Lynchburg, Virginia Government Opportunity Lynchburg - VA.

Strong air service is critical to economic growth. It connects our businesses to customers, talent, headquarters, and investment opportunities while making our region more competitive for business attraction and expansion.

Together, we’re sharing the Lynchburg region’s story, building relationships with airline partners, and advocating for the connectivity that helps our communities and businesses thrive.

Because when access grows, opportunity follows.

More than 75 women from across our region gathered to enjoy great wine, meaningful conversations, and valuable networking opportunities. Events like these remind us of the power of connection, collaboration, and shared experiences.

We are especially grateful to .jordan08 and for sharing their wisdom, insights, and encouragement with attendees. Their perspectives sparked thoughtful discussion and inspired everyone in the room.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success. We look forward to continuing to create spaces where women can connect, learn, and grow together. Visit LynchburgRegion.org/Events to mark in your calendars our next Women, Wine, & Wisdom.

Megan on the move.

Alliance CEO Megan Lucas is headed to Chicago this week to meet with corporate leaders, site selection consultants, and business decision-makers as part of the ongoing work to grow and sustain the Lynchburg region’s economy.

The new direct air service between Lynchburg and Chicago is making it easier than ever to connect our region with key headquarters, investment opportunities, and industry leaders. Improved connectivity strengthens our competitiveness, supports business growth, and helps showcase the Lynchburg region on a national stage.

Every new connection creates new opportunities for our businesses, communities, and future workforce.
