Leadership Roanoke Valley (LRV) was established in 1983 to encourage community leadership in the region. The interactive 10-month program helps participants better understand issues facing the Roanoke Valley. Creative ideas and approaches help build leadership skills and show participants how to make a difference in business and the community.

Monthly programs are created, organized, funded, and facilitated by participants under the guidance of advisors. Programs address overarching topics chosen based on trends in the community.
