leadership
Creativity is at the top, followed by drive, good judgement, flexibility and others. Specialized skills is halfway down. Not wanted, says McMillan, are those who follow orders and to whom traditional trappings of success are important."

inspiring MountainLumber
These guys were green before green was the new black. They have brilliant flooring and lumber, but also great vision. We have been fortunate to design their new exhibit/showroom in Charlottesville which opens in April. Willie Drake, the founder is the ultimate wood whisperer. He can spot heart pine through many layers of soot, paint or other debris. This company is going to make a big noise in the coming year. www.mountainlumber.com

Craig Dodson and I are both passionate fans of cycling, triathlon and all endurance sports. So we were happy when Craig tapped us to help articulate the vision around a new paradigm in professional cycling. Craig has inspred us with his unique ideas and approach to professional cycling. Together with our friends Endorphin Fitness and Carytown Bicycles, Richmond is an emerging leader in the growing cycling and multisport trend in the country. www.richmondprocycling.com

unveiling CharlesLuckStone Center
We look forward with anticipation to the opening of the Charlotte location for the Charles Luck Stone Center. The Richmond and Sterling locations have taught us alot and we are certain this new market will provide inspiration around this leading brand in the stone industry. We have been impressed by the skill and craftsmanship of the masons on the project
StSeraphimof Sarov
Perhaps the project that has taught us the most. The history of Eastern Orthodox architecture is rich and diverse. It is as ancient and classic style and contemporary manifestations are fascinating. We look forward to the ground breaking of this new building that elevates the role of design as a component of faith and worship.

We learned of the Faison School last year as we were asked to help prepare for their annual fundraising gala the the Charles Luck Stone Center. This school for autistic children inspires us in many ways. Addressing a growing crisis confronting the next generation, The Faison School operates with bold vision, community engagement and passion. www.thefaisonschool.org

PROJECT OVERVIEW AND TIMELINE The Greater Fulton Community Vision and Agreement emerged from a partnership between Virginia Local Initiatives Support Corporation (Virginia LISC), the Neighborhood Resource Center of Greater Fulton Hill (NRC) and the residents of the Greater Fulton community, which includes the neighborhoods of Fulton, Fulton Hill and Montrose Heights. In the summer of 2010, Virginia LISC and the NRC agreed to initiate the creation of a Community Vision for the three East End neighborhoods comprising Greater Fulton. During the late summer and fall of 2010, residents of the Greater Fulton community and external stakeholders representing various city agencies and nonprofit organizations in Richmond worked together to craft an initial vision document. The Community Vision describes existing and desired future conditions for the Greater Fulton community in Richmond’s East End. It was created through a community engagement process which helped to uncover and build upon the ideas

and desires of residents and other local stakeholders. The Community Vision is intended to be a catalyst for continued community engagement – and to provide a new starting point for the community, the City of Richmond and other partners to strengthen Greater Fulton. As a starting point, the Community Vision is designed to be a working document that is reviewed and revised as the community leaders from Greater Fulton move forward to initiate the initiatives, programs and activities outlined in this document. As more residents are engaged in the implementation of this Community Vision, and progress is made on specific elements of the document, it is anticipated that new ideas and opportunities will be identified for future action.
