Get2KnowNoke is hosting their annual conference this year virtually.
RESET | RETHINK | RECHARGE
Information about the conference from Kayleigh Duffy:
"I've attended the conference for a few years, and also serve on their planning committee. The Botetourt YPs have partnered with this group before, and this conference is great for networking and also just learning from others, rekindling some motivation, and pushing your career forward.
Today, they asked me if I'd speak a little bit in a "virtual small group" about the Botetourt YPs, and how others can get involved. I'm excited to help spread the word about all we have planned here in Botetourt.
Please use the above link where you can read about this year's conference, the speakers, and register.
If you or any of your co-workers are interested in joining in, use the code GET2KNOWNOKE (all caps) for a discount when registering. If any of you are in school or have interns/co-workers that are continuing their education, you can also use code COLLEGE for 10% off.

Mikki Barranco, Mortgage Banker
3130 Chaparral Dr., Suite 203
Roanoke VA 24018
I have lived in Botetourt for twenty five years, with my husband, Stephen. My four children all graduated from Lord Botetourt High School. Their names are: Sal, Annie, Emily and Sophie. While my kids were in school, I volunteered in numerous rolls with the PTA, as well as the athletic booster club. I enjoy getting to know my customers on a personal level. They all have my cell phone number, and I am available whenever they need me, not just 9-5!
I love being an Ambassador because I get to meet different business owners, and to help them experience all the benefits the Chamber has to offer. I also serve on the annual Golf Committee.
