Buncombe County Accepting Proposals for Covid Funding Relief
ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP + TRANSFORMATION
Southern Sixer Hiking Challenge
AM Power Hour
Smart Start Partnership for Children: Ribbon Cutting!
Buncombe County is set to receive $51M in federal Covid relief funding. While there are some restrictions on how funding can be spent, it must address Covid relief and the subsequent economic fallout.
The County is now accepting proposals from the community on projects or programs. Examples of eligible categories include: small business support, household assistance, mental health programs, addressing public health disparities and more. Proposals are due Thursday, July 15. Read the full RFP and FAQs here.
(In a Post Pandemic World)
Take Five and Earn a Certificate!
Online “Live” Instruction Offered each Spring and Fall
Each workshop offers 5.5 SHRM Recertification Credits
Certificate: $625
$159 to $199 per Workshop
Everything from managing remote employees to living in a world where the line has become blurred between what happens online and offline, means what worked last year could be ineffective in the coming years. Managers and supervisors need to learn how to adapt to a compromised economy and an up-and-coming workforce that’s progressively challenging the “status quo” for work ethics and work habits.
Did you know more than 40 peaks in the Southern Appalachians of NC and TN reach over 6,000 feet elevation? And, most of these “Southern Sixer” summits fall within Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy’s six conservation focus areas. (The map below shows Southern Sixer locations relative to our focus areas).
Many of these peaks can be accessed from public lands and trails — such as Mt. Mitchell, Roan High Knob, Mount Kephart, and Black Balsam Knob.
In 2017 we launched the Southern Sixer Hiking Challenge, to challenge YOU to summit at least six of these 6,000+ ft. peaks and receive a commemorative patch!
Originally started as part of our “For Love of Beer & Mountains” Partnership, the Southern Sixer Challenge has become so popular we’ve decided to keep it going. Since starting the Challenge, many hikers have shared stories and images from their adventures — including the cover photo for our 2018 View from the Highlands newsletter, submitted by Steve Bridges.
Fill out the online form on this page (submit a photo and tell us a little about each of your hikes), and we’ll send your patch!
Enjoy a more productive day by meeting prospective customers at the start of your day. You may find a strong referral source, a new vendor, the perfect client, or simply get a foot in the door for connecting again later at another Chamber event. AM Power Hour is great if you are an early-bird or can’t make our after-hours networking events. There is no cost to attend but registration is required.
Join us in celebration of Smart Start Partnership for Children!
Join us in celebrating the new location of Smart Start Partnership for Children with an official Chamber Ribbon Cutting! Enjoy light refreshments, hear from Executive Director, Sonia Fironda, and take a self-guided tour of the space. Free bear books will be available for children in honor of the Smart Start Bearfootin’ Bear, Subi and Hunter.
Please RSVP so that we know you’re planning to attend.

Hey Asheville women! Are you a coder, a developer, a designer, an architect of information? This is a group for Asheville women in tech who want a collaborative and supportive space to bring projects to workshops, participate in tutorials facilitated by other members, spark new ideas, write practice code, and develop cool stuff. Maybe (like me) you’re just getting started, and you wish you could bounce ideas off someone, or just ask them how to center that block of text on the page? You should come! We’ll work it out together. Or maybe you’re a veteran web developer who thinks rookies are brave (possibly foolish) souls with no idea what they’re getting into? Please come tell us all the things you wish someone had told you! Let’s skill-share, meet other women in the biz, learn new things, and give each other a leg up!
We’re on Slack!

Biz + Bites: How to Put Your Soul’s Voice into Your Business
You are an entrepreneur because passion and excitement motivate you. The old way of doing things isn’t good enough. You desire more: More creativity. More freedom. More heart. Let’s talk about how to pave a new path. We will confront limiting beliefs that keep you in hiding, while also addressing tools to reveal the true essence of your business. You’ll have a chance explore some of the practices that will be presented.
Our presenter, Jessica Falcon from The Path to Sovereignty is a former criminal prosecutor, yoga teacher, global traveler and entrepreneur, Jessica combines strategic thinking with embodied wisdom. Her forthcoming book, Prosecutor Prostitute Priestess, melds personal experience with a bold confrontation of belief systems shaped throughout history.
