Business is built on relationships. 🤝

The right introduction can lead to your next customer. A coffee chat can solve the challenge that’s been keeping you up at night. And sometimes the most valuable thing you can have is someone who’s been there before.

Through roundtables, mentorship, networking events, and team memberships, we make room for real connections to grow, and a network that grows right alongside your business.

Can every person on your team name your company’s values? 🤔

At this year’s InnovateLocal: Culture by Design, Dr. Bob Kelley showed our community of local business owners why intentional culture is a real competitive advantage. His advice: keep your values simple, memorable and measurable.

How we advocate for you:
✔️ Legislative Advocacy

Your business deserves a voice at every table where decisions are being made, and we’re proud to be it.

📰 Members in the News! Congratulations to The Jefferson Hotel on being featured in Southern Living! 🐊

The story shares one of Richmond’s most beloved bits of history: the live alligators that once lounged in the historic hotel’s Palm Court. Old Pompey, the last of them, lived there until 1948, and bronze gators still greet guests today.

Six months after our State of Local survey, we checked back in with 63 local businesses for our September 2026 Pulse Check. Here’s what they shared. 📊

Growth and uncertainty, side by side: More than half (56%) saw revenue grow. But even among those doing well, only 10% feel very confident about the year ahead.

Here’s what gives us hope: businesses that tried something new, whether a product, a service, or a fresh revenue stream, were more likely to grow. Local businesses aren’t just holding steady. They’re getting creative. 💡

Thank you to everyone who shared their experience with us. Read the full findings at the link below.
