The Alliance focuses on promoting entrepreneurial start-ups, business expansion and retention, and new job creation; advocacy; workforce development; connecting people and businesses; community, minority, and small business development; and the cultivation of local and regional leadership.
In 2016, the Alliance combined the longstanding work of the Lynchburg Regional Chamber and the Region 2000 Business & Economic Alliance. This merger brought the 130 year old Chamber of Commerce and our region economic development entity under one roof.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement
The Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance values diversity and practices inclusion. We endeavor to ensure diversity, equity and inclusion is an integral part of all aspects of operations and strategic initiatives. As part of this charge, the Alliance works continually to allow every possible advantage for economic prosperity.
The Alliance achieves this by:
- Advocating for economic inclusion
- Facilitating minority business growth and development
- Championing and equipping diverse leaders through our leadership development programs
- Encouraging and providing leadership and resources to our membership. It is our hope that by doing so, they can then create diversity, equity and inclusion programs and initiatives at their own organizations.
