Shenandoah Women's Alliance Meeting: Creating Professional Development Vision Boards

Cindy Dove, Executive Director at The John Maxwell Team and Consultant at Dove Development, will lead attendees through the process of creating a professional development vision board. Attendees will leave with a creative, daily reminder of their professional development goals.  A vision board is meant to metaphorically bring your ideas for the future into reality, as a tangible object you can draw inspiration from every day. Your Chamber will provide attendees with materials to create their boards, but we encourage you to gather magazines or print inspirational quotes prior to the meeting. This Shenandoah Women's Alliance meeting is free to attend, but registration is required.

Learn about Brix & Columns Vineyards:
Steve and Stephanie Pence both grew up in the farming world.  Steve helped his grandparents on their family farm, and Stephanie was an avid horse rider who welcomed the responsibility that came with raising and riding horses.  Acknowledging how important their farming backgrounds were in both providing fond childhood memories and in instilling a strong work ethic, the Pences knew that they wanted to provide the same experience for their own children.  In 2003, they found the perfect property just miles from both of their childhood homes. The panoramic mountain views were the icing on the cake of this 160 acre farm. A few years ago, a local vineyard approached the Pences about leasing land to grow grapes.  After coming to look, the vineyard owners told Steve and Stephanie that the land was ideal for growing vines. Eventually those vineyard owners found some land closer to home, but the proverbial seed had been planted.  Steve and Stephanie invited several other vineyard consultants out to look at their land, and they also began taking viticulture classes at Piedmont Valley Community College. In the spring of 2016 Steve and Stephanie planted their first grapes (Petit Verdot and Viognier) and in the fall of that year they broke ground on the Brix & Columns Tasting Room building.  The building was finished in March of 2017 and the Vineyard had its soft opening in April 2017.
