NEW! Stepping with the CEO
Important: We are meeting and parking at Birdwood Mansion.
Guest walkers: GiGi Vega, General Manager for Boar's Head Resort and Russ Cronberg, Director of Hospitality for UVA Foundation
The walking route will start at the newly renovated Birdwood Mansion.
Get an exclusive first look at Boar's Head Resort's newest hospitality experiences—from their stunning Birdwood Mansion to the highly anticipated Turn & Table Grill & Bar, opening October 7th. Walk the beautiful grounds with us, discover where Winter Wander magic happens, and connect with community leaders in one of Charlottesville's most beloved gathering spaces. Following our walk, we will gather back at the Mansion to enjoy coffee and a tour.
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.
