*NEW* Stepping with the CEO
For this month's Stepping with the CEO, President & CEO Andrea Copeland is partnering with Chamber Board Director Nicole Hawker, owner of Heart and Soul Fitness with Nicole. Our guest walkers will be members of the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
Join us to connect with Chamber leaders while learning about the opportunities and challenges shaping one of Charlottesville's historic neighborhoods, Fifeville.
Beginning at Heart and Soul Fitness with Nicole in the Cherry Avenue Shopping Plaza, we'll explore the Cherry Avenue corridor and continue our walk through the Fifeville neighborhood—an area at the center of important conversations about growth, housing, investment, and neighborhood change.

Stepping with the CEO is a monthly Friday-morning wellness and networking experience designed to bring Chamber members together for fresh air, meaningful conversation, and authentic relationship-building. Held at rotating walking spots throughout Charlottesville and Albemarle County, each walking session, hosted by the Chamber CEO, features a “guest walker” (chamber or community leader, industry expert, partner). Feel free to bring a friend or coworker!

Stepping with the CEO is made possible by our presenting sponsor, Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital. For generations, Sentara Martha Jefferson has been a cornerstone of health and wellness in our community, providing exceptional care to the people of Charlottesville and the surrounding region.
