Breakfast with VT Football Coach, James Franklin

Partners for Progress is where the future takes the stage—and this time, it’s the future of Hokie football.

As a new program, Partners for Progress was created specifically for Chamber Members as a thank you for their continued commitment to the Chamber and the broader New River Valley community. It’s our way of bringing you closer to the leaders, conversations, and ideas shaping what’s next.

Join the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce for a forward-looking discussion with special guest Virginia Tech Football Coach Franklin. This conversation goes beyond last season and focuses on what lies ahead—from recruiting strategy and program development to navigating the evolving world of college athletics.

What does the future of Virginia Tech Hokies football look like? How is the program positioning itself to compete at the highest level? And what lessons can business leaders take from building a team in a rapidly changing environment? 

Moderated by Rick Watson of Big Dawg Sports Talk, the discussion will bring energy, perspective, and a few behind-the-scenes stories along the way.
