DRF began the Speaker Series in 2009 by bringing innovative thinkers to the Dan River Region as part of the Foundation’s work to transform the regional economy and create a prosperous and healthy culture benefiting all of the region’s citizens. A result of the Speaker Series has been people developing more confidence in their community. Attendees take the speakers’ messages home with them and share it with friends, family, and co-workers. These messages of positive change are contagious and spread quickly throughout the community.
