ChamberRVA’s HYPE hosted a networking happy hour at Kings Dominion’s WinterFest.
Our Astyra internal staff members were thrilled to spend the evening out and about with other young professionals. They enjoyed great food, fun rides and the holiday atmosphere complete with fake snow!
“It’s so amazing that HYPE holds events like this! It’s such a new, creative way to meet people,” Tianna said.

To assist ChamberRVA with their YRichmond initiative, we sent our internal employees as volunteers to university jobs fairs!
The goal of YRichmond is to encourage young professionals to live, work and play in Richmond. Our internal employees are perfect candidates for this since we all enjoy Richmond.
On the first career fair day, we sent Tianna and Shaila to the University of Richmond to present. The next volunteering event we sent David, Victor and Torin to ODU. The groups both had a great time meeting new faces and speaking about the joys of Richmond!

Astyra founders Ken Ampy and Sam Young traveled to Minneapolis mid-April for an InterCity Visit (ICV) with the ChamberRVA board. Similar to previous visits in recent years to places such as Pittsburgh, Denver and Austin, they found the trip to Minneapolis very engaging and refreshing.
The InterCity Visit allows for leaders from the Richmond region to visit a peer city to hear about great initiatives and generate meaningful dialogue in the hopes of bringing about change in Richmond, VA.
These three-day agenda packed trips have directly resulted in many Richmond initiatives, businesses and programs being implemented. During the trip, attendees expand their knowledge on the chosen city’s community operations and determine if it is possible to mimic some of the ideas in Richmond.
Now on his 10th ICV, Ken chose the innovation track while Sam, on his 8th trip, chose the public housing track.
