A one-day conference, featuring local health-care, education, nonprofit and small business leaders, is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20, at Bible Center Church in South Charleston.
Speakers will discuss various challenges and possible solutions to benefit the region and the state during the conference. The program was created, as described by Bible Center Church officials, “because we want West Virginians to thrive, even through difficult and unpredictable times. Bible Center is hosting a conference to encourage and challenge leaders to creatively solve problems, innovate solutions and come together, even in this social and political climate that seems so polarized.”
