C I Destinations, in partnership with the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce, presents an International trip to Tuscany / One Hotel Holiday, departing October 15, 2024.

Tuscany is the most popular region in Italy. Tuscany offers its numerous visitors the best of all things Italian starting with fine art. The capital, Florence, is considered the cradle of renaissance, and now one of the richest cities of art and culture. Tuscany is famous for its world-class art collections, charming medieval hill towns, and sweeping hillsides full of vineyards. Tuscany is where you have to go if you want to stand in a room full of Botticelli paintings or gaze upon Michelangelo’s “David”. You can’t find the home of Chianti wine or the town that produced “Under the Tuscan Sun” anywhere else. The region’s hill towns will provide a beautiful backdrop for the perfect Tuscan holiday you’ve always dreamed of experiencing.

The cost is $3,499 per person (save $100 register by March 31, 2024), the deposit is $450 per traveler. This cost includes airfare, seven nights of hotel accommodations at 4-star hotels, 10 meals (seven breakfasts, three dinners), sightseeing and admissions per itinerary, and a professional tour manager.  

We are also offering a two night Rome extention on this trip for an additional $599. Details below.

To register for the trip, call Crystal Hairston, Director of Operations at 434.836.6990 ext: 1 or email crystal@dpchamber.org.

Do you struggle to delegate projects, tasks, or responsibility? We get it – loosening the grip on control can be tough. But what if we told you that in that struggle lies the true art of leadership? Join us for a working session on "Letting Go to Lead: Mastering the Art of Delegation."

We'll dive into the truth on why delegation is hard – that fear of losing control, the worry that things won't be done just right. But here's the facts: by letting go a bit, you're not just lightening your load, you're empowering others. It's leadership in its purest form.

Discover how deliberate and intentional delegation is the key to not just getting things done, but getting them done well. We'll share stories, tips, and laughs as we navigate the fine line between a command and control leader and an empowering leader. Learn how to build a team that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and shared success.

So, if you are the one delegating, or the one being delegated to- or if you're ready to take your leadership game to the next level, this session will have something for you. Join us for a session that is designed to impart wisdom and build camaraderie, and let's work through the challenges of delegation together! Your career – and your team – will thank you for it!
