ROANOKE REGION TALENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

One of the best ways to tell the story of the Roanoke Region is from within. That is why we created our Talent Ambassador Program to help tell the story of why living and working here, connect residents to resources and people that can help them succeed, provide mentorship, and build a community of professionals who are passionate about our region.
From remote workers and boomerangs to transplants and locals, Talent Ambassadors are a representation of our community and that includes you!
