- **Event Description**: Innovation doesn’t have to be intimidating. Join us on November 10, 2026, for Lunch & Learn: Innovation & Future Readiness, featuring B. Scott Crawford, President & CEO of Virginia 811, for a timely conversation on embracing emerging technology with confidence.

In this session, Scott will explore how organizations can move beyond the “Tech Panic Cycle” and approach innovation — including Artificial Intelligence and other digital advancements — as a driver of continuous improvement rather than disruption.
