NRVPDC Annual Dinner
Each year the New River Valley Planning District Commission coordinates an annual dinner to support relationship building between elected and appointed leaders across the region. The event provides an opportunity for leaders to meet their colleagues from neighboring localities and celebrate significant contributions to the region through the Commission's award program.
