As a respected industry and community leader, your voice and expertise are essential to the development of Blueprint Virginia 2035. By registering for the Regional Tour, you will gain access to the Blueprint Virginia 2035 survey, where your input will help inform policy priorities that directly impact your region and industry.

As part of the Blueprint Virginia 2035 development process, the Virginia Chamber Foundation, in partnership with its statewide network of local and regional chambers of commerce and GO Virginia, will host a series of regional meetings across the Commonwealth. These gatherings are designed to foster collaboration and bring together leaders in business, economic development, workforce, education, housing, and other key industry sectors to provide meaningful input that will help shape Virginia’s next comprehensive statewide strategic plan.

Participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from Cathie J. Vick, the new President & CEO of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, for an exclusive economic update presentation covering both statewide trends and region-specific insights.

Most importantly, participants will engage in interactive discussions to help develop policy recommendations that reflect the priorities and needs of their region and industry.

Since 2013, the Virginia Chamber Foundation has led the development and produced Blueprint Virginia, Blueprint Virginia 2025, and Blueprint Virginia 2030: A Business Plan for the Commonwealth. The goal of Blueprint Virginia has always been clear – to create a business-led, long-term statewide economic development plan that transcends gubernatorial administrations and reflects the priorities and consensus of Virginia’s business community.

With Virginians set to elect a new Governor this November, now is the time to update Blueprint Virginia and set ambitious, forward-looking policy goals to ensure long-term economic growth and competitiveness. As we work to maintain Virginia’s ranking as the Top State for Business, we must remain proactive and collaborative in our approach. Over the next year, we will rely on Virginia’s regional leaders and industry experts to help us analyze state and regional economies and identify key economic drivers.

We invite all stakeholders in economic development, education and workforce, housing, healthcare, innovation, and other industries to join us for the Blueprint Virginia 2035 Regional Tour and contribute to this process.
