The regional spirit of Tri-Cities, TN/VA's All-America City effort is based on the idea of coming together to help one another. We'd love to have you join us in one or more of the various projects going on in our region. Whether you'd like to volunteer your time, your talents, or perhaps make a donation, we'd certainly appreciate your input.
The most recent venture of the All-America City Steering Team was the Tri-Cities TN/VA All-America City 5-Star Regional Showcase. This event was held at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon, VA, on February 18. The day-long showcase featured a number of sessions covering topics from economic development to culture and history. In addition, top All-America City officials, including Chris Gates, were at the event.
The Tri-Cities TN/VA All-America City 5-Star Regional Showcase was made possible through the team efforts of a number of volunteers. From marketing to logistics to securing speakers, the event was a success thanks to the devoted work of a number of volunteers.
The work being done by the All-America City Team will continue into the future. We are always looking for people who want to get involved with the process and help achieve regional goals. The categories below illustrate our areas of work. If you are interested in volunteering with any of these initiatives, please contact one of the people listed below.
