Imagine a conference filled with people who see possibilities inproblems, who are eager for new ideas, and who stand ready to roll up their sleeves to get things done. The people who come to this conference are the "little engines that could." They know that the serious problems we face in our communities cannot be solved by the government or by the private sector alone. For West Virginia to have vibrant communities, we all have to do our part.
Join us in Charleston for this year's Faces of Leadership conference - our state's major annual gathering of people strengthening our communities through service.
Carpetbag Theatre Ensemble - We are thrilled to welcome this impressive group out of Knoxville, Tennessee. These performers will introduce us to an innovative new multi-media storytelling process called Three Trains Running that will have you laughing, singing, talking to each other and maybe shedding a few tears along the way.
