Congratulations to our very own April Perrin for her first work anniversary at ChamberRVA! April oversees our ChamberWomen’s network and programming as well our signature leadership program, Leadership Lab. Most recently, she has been the staff lead for our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion task force which is comprised of both ChamberRVA members and community members.
On her time outside of work, she likes to enjoy delicious treats from local shops right here in Richmond.
"I’m a pastry connoisseur of sorts and enjoy exploring all of the local pastry and coffee shops. An almond croissant from Whisk is one of my favorites!" said April.
Thank you much for your hard work at the Chamber, April. We appreciate you!
