We’re delighted to welcome the CIVIC Class of 2018. Our class members arrive with professional success and achievement. Over the coming year, they’ll learn about issues and ideas we hope will inspire them to leverage that expertise in support of Hampton Roads. Our class members and alumni are seasoned professionals who bring extraordinary capacity to the issues that challenge Hampton Roads. They are actively engaged in public life as elected officials, members of boards and commissions, and as skilled volunteer experts working on pivotal issues important to the region like sea level rise, veteran transition, and the health and well-being of children, among others.
