Hand in hand, we can do something good. The Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau has partnered with the United Way of South Hampton Roads to provide convention delegates a chance to give back to the community during their time in Virginia Beach. This new program invites visitors to join in our mission to enhance our seaside destination and its natural and historic treasures, with the hope that meeting-goers will reap the rewards – both of the long-term results and the immediate feel-good benefits of pitching in.
“It‘s a nice and generous add-on piece to a lot of conferences that come to the area,” said Jim Ricketts, Director of the Virginia Beach CVB. “The meeting planners and executives add time to their meeting schedules for their attendees to roll up their sleeves and participate in a good cause in our area.”
Simply review the list of agencies providing volunteer opportunities and coordinate the details with the CVB‘s Convention Center Services Manager, Teri Wiley, at (757) 385-4700 or twiley@visitvirginiabeach.com.
The United Way of South Hampton Roads mission is to build a stronger South Hampton Roads by mobilizing its communities to improve people's lives.
