# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Eggs & Issues: Housing & Towns
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am
- **Event Description**: We are officially sold out, but a wait list is available.

Housing is on everyone’s mind—from workforce availability to community growth to where the next generation will call home. This month’s Eggs & Issues tackles Housing and Towns head-on with a practical, business-focused conversation on what’s happening across our communities and what it means for employers, employees, and local growth.

We’re extending this program by an additional 15 minutes to give Chamber Members more time to ask questions and hear directly from the experts. If you’ve ever said, “Housing affects my business more than people realize,” this one has your name on it.

Expect real discussion, local insight, and connections that help you stay ahead of the curve.

Join us for breakfast, conversation, and a topic that shapes the future of the New River Valley.

Thank you to our topic sponsor, Freedom First Credit Union, and our presenting sponsor Carilion Clinic New River Valley Medical Center for investing in this program.

Joe Sutliff -  CEO, New River Valley Association of Realtors
