CIVIC Executive Program

Welcome, CIVIC Class of 2025!

Each year, the CIVIC Leadership Institute program is composed of a diverse group of approximately 50 executive leaders from the Hampton Roads region who reflect the region’s diversity of race, geography, profession, and gender.

CIVIC has had the honor of collaborating with the most brilliant minds in the area, and our programming continues to educate on key timely topics. Each session allows the executives to deliberate on the issues and engage in a healthy dialogue with the best speakers in their respective fields, providing a balanced view and discussion.
