WV Hive hosting ‘Coffee Talks’ networking session in Richwood

RICHWOOD, WV (WVNS) — The West Virginia Hive Network is hosting its next “Coffee Talks” networking session in association with the West Virginia Community Development Hub (The Hub) from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Friday, June 14.

The event is being held as part of the West Virginia Community Development Hub’s HubCAP Group session. Members of the public are encouraged to attend at no cost, but registration is required. The gathering will take place at Richwood Hall, 6 White Avenue in Richwood, WV.

Coffee Talks presents a chance to learn from successful, local entrepreneurs, such as Jeromy Rose of Rosewood and Dawn O’Dell of the Guest House, through an informal interview session with Judy Moore, the Executive Director of the WV Hive and Deputy Director of the New River Gorge Regional Development Authority. Casual and guided networking opportunities will be available for local entrepreneurs, business owners, and community leaders.

Rosewood is a coffee shop, antique store, florist, and offers printed T-shirts and other West Virginia-focused art. The Guest House is an Airbnb that has assisting in bringing more lodging option to the town of Richwood.

I am thrilled to bring a Coffee Talks session to Richwood as part of the HubCAP program. As a former HubCAP community, Richwood saw incredible growth and business development over the last five years. These local entrepreneurs will share their success stories and talk about challenges and how they have overcome them.

Stacy Thomas | Community Coaching Programs Director, The Hub

Both Jeromy of Rosewood and Dawn of The Guest House are collaborative, community-minded individuals who have been involved in numerous initiatives. I look forward to visiting with them and hearing their stories of success and about how they have overcome small business challenges and went on to seek opportunities that offered distinct advantages for them and their customers.
