Business at Breakfast presented by Pinnacle Financial Partners
Rise and shine, Lynchburg Region!
Get ready to kickstart your day with a burst of inspiration at our much-awaited quarterly Business at Breakfast.
On Wednesday, November 12, we’re bringing together the Lynchburg Regional business community for a morning of connection, collaboration, and celebration at the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur, a thriving professional, or just finding your place in the business scene, this event is your golden ticket to a dynamic networking experience like no other.
This November breakfast marks the official launch of the Alliance’s Veterans in Business Initiative—a new effort to celebrate, support, and amplify the contributions of veterans in our region’s workforce and business community. More than 6,000 veterans are actively contributing to our regional workforce, driving innovation, growth, and the ongoing success of the Lynchburg economy. Join us as we celebrate their impact and launch the "Veterans in Business Initiative.” Breakfast will feature:
- Veterans in Business Panel – Hear directly from veteran business leaders and professionals about their journeys, challenges, and the unique strengths veterans bring to entrepreneurship and the workplace.
- Pat Simon, WSET, Army
- Christina Douglas, Centra, Army
- Dale Reed, CloudFit, Airforce
- Chris Hughes, Georgia-Pacific, Marines (Facilitator)
- Award Presentation – We are proud to present the inaugural Veteran Employee of the Year Award, honoring a veteran who has made an exceptional impact in their organization through dedication, leadership, and results.
- Looking Ahead – Be the first to hear about our plans to establish the Veterans in Business Annual Lunch, beginning in November 2026, which will feature a full series of Veterans in Business Awards.
Join us as we celebrate the values of service, leadership, and resilience that veterans bring to the business community—and be part of the launch of a powerful new tradition in the Lynchburg Region. To nominate an individual for the Veteran Employee of the Year Award, please click here!
