Join us Wednesday for our weekly meeting in Charter Hall on the third floor of the City Market Building; networking and lunch begin at 12:00PM. We will listen to Dr. Lee Learman, Dean of the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. Dr. Learman will highlight how in 2026 new philanthropic gifts, state operating funds for enrollment growth, and state funding for a new school building are positioning the school for greater impact on our community, region, and Commonwealth in the years ahead. All of our speakers for the month of August will be from the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.

Dr. Learman's career in academic medicine started at the University of California, San Francisco, where he co-led a federally funded research program establishing the comparative effectiveness of alternative treatments for common women’s health conditions. He then served as a department chair at Indiana University and as senior associate dean at Florida Atlantic University. Dr. Learman's state and local impacts have been recognized by the Indiana Commissioner’s Award for Excellence in Public Health and the NAACP Citizen of the Year award for medicine in the Roanoke Valley. This year he was elected to the Virginia Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. He attended college at UCLA and completed an MD/PhD program at Harvard Medical School funded by the MacArthur Foundation.
