Lunch & Learn: Innovation & Future Readiness

Innovation doesn’t have to be intimidating. Join us on November 10, 2026, for Lunch & Learn: Innovation & Future Readiness, featuring B. Scott Crawford, President & CEO of Virginia 811, for a timely conversation on embracing emerging technology with confidence.
In this session, Scott will explore how organizations can move beyond the “Tech Panic Cycle” and approach innovation — including Artificial Intelligence and other digital advancements — as a driver of continuous improvement rather than disruption. Drawing from Virginia 811’s real-world experience, he will share practical insights on how leaders can evaluate new technologies, align them with mission-driven goals, and prepare their teams for sustainable growth.
Designed for small business owners, managers, and professionals navigating rapid change, this session will offer actionable perspective on turning innovation into a competitive advantage.
Lunch is provided, and there will be time to connect with fellow Chamber members before and after the session at the Chamber office.
Seating is limited. Bring your questions and register today at montgomerycc.org/lunch.
