We have found the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce provides their members with avenues and platforms to help them succeed. Our experience as members continues to provide opportunities where we can add value to individuals, organizations, and the community. We're thrilled to have them join us as Emerging Leadership Partners on The 2025 LeadershipLegacy Experience at JMU's Atlantic Union Bank Center on June 13!

In 2022, HRCC President/CEO Chris Quinn served as the emcee for our LIVE2LEAD:Harrisonburg event. From the time Chris joined the Chamber in May '21, he invested a tremendous amount of time learning about our community and looking for ways that he and his team can add even more value to Chamber members as well as the Harrisonburg/Rockingham community as a whole. Interacting with Chris on several projects showed us that he would be a perfect fit for that role.

In this session, we'll talk with Chris Quinn about his clear purpose for accepting leadership responsibility and the purpose driving the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce team.
