CBDX has linked me up with other young professionals that have similar goals. Together we are stronger and have more of an impact on the world around us. Additionally, it has given me confidence professionally by forcing me to step out of my comfort zone.
Alexandra Hinman, Ripley Heatwole Company

Helping found the CBDX is one of the proudest accomplishments of my career. The group we’ve created has built an incredible bond that uniquely fits into both our professional and personal lives.
Alex Divaris, CBDX Founder and Past President, Divaris Real Estate

Community engagement, philanthropy, investing in the city’s future and business networking were important considerations for me when looking for a young professionals’ organization to join. The CBDX provided me opportunities to meet professionals across all Virginia Beach’s industries, discuss issues facing our community, promote growth and development and have fun giving back.
Robert Hart, Sentara

CBDX keeps me connected. We all spend so much time in our own offices, and it's critical to step outside and get to know other young professionals in the Town Center area. We're the future of the CBDA, and our success depends on the relationships we build right now.
Danny Rubin, Rubin Communications Group

I joined CBDX to build lasting, meaningful relationships with other young professionals who share my interest in making an impact within the community we serve.
Matt Rose, Lumos Networks

I joined CBDX to be part of a community of top young professionals who are dedicated to our City’s economic development, and calling Hampton Roads home. CBDX continues to bring so much value to my career, community participation and building relationships. I love all that CBDX has to offer!
Vita Harper Kenney, TowneBank
