Safety is always a top priority at Leadership West Virginia. The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges for organizations across the country, and LWV is no different. Our class has been meeting virtually since March, but the in-person experiences and connections are important facets we can’t overlook. We are excited to share that we are planning in-person sessions starting in September. Hear more from Executive Director Pam Farris about our plan to move forward. #LWV2020 #LeadershipWestVirginia
