A student w/o access to broadband at home does not perform as well academically as those who do - even when other factors are taken into account. "This is not who we are as Virginians," says Evan Feinman, VA Tobacco Commission. #EconomicSummit

Brian Ball, Sec. of Commerce & Trade, says 500 jobs in SOVA makes relatively the same impact as 25k jobs in NOVA. Confirms the notion that rural communities cannot wait for the elusive "great white whale" to save their economy. Small(er) businesses matter! #EconomicSummit

It's the 18th day of the year & I still haven't chosen a planner! Can we put 2019 on ice until I've settled this very important issue?

Scheduling one's work may seem like a no-brainer. But, for someone like me, who tends to squeeze work in between meetings, it's been a game changer! Not only am I more productive, but I'm also less stressed when everything on my to-do list has an appointed time for attention.

Don’t like Pelosi, but can’t quite articulate why? Felt the same way about Hillary Clinton? Time for some deep self-reflection about gender bias and leadership.

When visiting a new town, “Stop in at the local public library!” says @FallowsDeb. It will help you get a better understanding of the spirit of that community more than any tourist attraction can. #HOFT2

Excited to be representing the Middle Border region at this week’s Home of Future Thinking Summit. What an amazing opportunity to learn from & alongside communities like ours from across the country! #HoFT2

There are 75 days left in 2018. Maybe that's not enough time to complete your goals, but it's certainly enough time to get started.

So, what will you start today?
