UPCOMING SPEAKER

Vicki Gardner

April 8

Join us Wednesday for our weekly meeting in Charter Hall on the third floor of the City Market Building; networking and lunch begin at 12:00PM. We will listen to Vicki Gardner talk about her new book, "Survival Has Consequences."

Left for dead after a live television interview turned into a horrific double murder, a community leader shares her fight for survival. This is not only the story of surviving a gunshot, but of enduring the aftermath — painful surgeries, frustrating legal battles, and the lasting psychological scars of trauma. Raw, honest, and unexpectedly hopeful, it is a testament to resilience, community strength, and finding gratitude after unthinkable violence.

Vicki Gardner has spent decades building businesses and strengthening communities as Executive Director of the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce and past President of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce Executives. She understands leadership, growth, and guiding organizations through challenge.
