The (Real) State of the City: A Richmonder event
On the morning of January 15, The Richmonder will once again welcome business and civic leaders, as well as engaged citizens, to take a deep dive into Richmond's civic health.

Last year's sold-out event drew rave reviews from attendees, and this year's event promises to be just as engaging.
Speakers this year:
- Michael Phillips, The Richmonder's founding editor: Learn about the numbers and trends shaping the year ahead in this TED Talk-style presentation.
- Taikein Cooper, CEO, Richmond Ed Fund: How a nonprofit is reshaping the future of public education in the city.
- Greta J. Harris, CEO, Better Housing Coalition: Explore the state of housing development and affordability in the region.
- Mayor Danny Avula: Will participate in a Q&A with Richmonder reporter Graham Moomaw

The program will run from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Thursday, January 15, and will be held at The Jefferson Hotel. Plan to arrive at 7:30 in time for coffee and breakfast beforehand; the program will begin promptly at 8.
Sponsorship opportunities: Sponsorship includes a table at the event, as well as branding and potential speaking opportunities during the event, and online branding alongside The Richmonder's coverage of the event.
