Read the full invitation

This special reception will bring together business owners, employers, educators, community leaders, and residents from Raleigh and Fayette Counties and throughout southern West Virginia for an opportunity to meet and engage directly with candidates appearing on the November General Election ballot.

Rather than a traditional candidate forum with formal speeches or moderated questions, this event is designed as a relaxed, conversational networking reception. Candidates will have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with attendees, answer questions, and share their perspectives on issues important to our region, including the business climate, workforce development, infrastructure, economic growth, and the future of our communities.

Both Chambers of Commerce are nonpartisan organizations, and candidates for the offices included in this event are being extended the same invitation and opportunity to participate.

We believe this networking format will provide a valuable opportunity for meaningful conversation between candidates and the communities they seek to serve, and we hope you will join us.

Presented by Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce and Fayette County Chamber of Commerce

    New Executive Director- Village Caregiving: Beckley, WV

    Please help us in welcoming Morgan Stover back home as Village Caregiving: Beckley, WV's new Executive Director!!

    As of June 1, 2026- there is a new face leading the way for Village Caregiving: Beckley, WV. Morgan started with VCG as a Director of Operations in February of 2024 and was instrumental in the office's success- earning a top achievement award at the company's nationwide conference in December of 2024. In 2025, the Beckley location had grown so large- then covering nine counties- that it was in the company's best interest to form some sister locations in Southern WV so that they could better reach their clients and caregivers. Beckley- retaining coverage in Raleigh, Fayette, and Nicholas counties- created two other branches from their operational success in Lewisburg, WV and Bluefield, VA. Morgan steered the ship in Lewisburg, WV as the Executive Director of that branch from March 2025 through May of 2026 creating quite a resume along the way. Recognized as the "New Office of the Year," at the company's nationwide conference in St. Pete Beach, FL last year, "2025 New Business of the Year," awarded by the Greater Greenbrier Chamber of Commerce in March of this year, and growing their number of clients served by double across the Greenbrier Valley among other things- Morgan is quick to remind us all that none of this is possible without the caregivers that show up and do impactful and meaningful work, daily.

    Village Caregiving is a privately owned, nationwide company based out of Barboursville, WV that focuses on compassion and culture, above all else, and leads the way on both fronts. Recently recognized as Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces 2026, these attributes are a mindset that must remain at the forefront of operations and something that Morgan takes great pride in. Village Caregiving: Beckley, WV serves Raleigh, Fayette, and Nicholas county families by providing caregivers to come into the home and assist with basic needs. These tasks may include but are not limited to: bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting assistance, housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and transportation. If you or someone you know may be interested in services- please reach out at 681-207-3386 or email Morgan directly: morganstover@villagecaregiving.com.

    How Netranom Transformed IT at WV Health Right

    WV Health Right's building in Charleston WV supported by managed IT services from Netranom

    Healthcare IT Overview: Challenges and the Need for Reliable IT Support in Charleston, WV

    Healthcare operations rely heavily on technology. Every computer, printer, phone, and security system must work flawlessly. When IT issues arise, even a short downtime can disrupt patient care, prescription management, and daily workflows. WV Health Right, a healthcare provider in Charleston, WV, experienced these challenges firsthand. Slow and unreliable IT support sometimes left systems down for days.

    Partnering with Netranom, a trusted provider of managed IT services in Hurricane WV, transformed their IT operations into a reliable and efficient system.

    The Challenge: Unreliable IT Support in a Growing Healthcare Organization

    Before Netranom, WV Health Right’s IT environment was inconsistent and difficult to manage. A staff member handled IT responsibilities alongside their primary role. This led to delays, frustration, and system outages that could last up to two days. Leadership recognized that without dependable IT support, both patient care and operations were at risk.

    Key challenges included:

    • Frequent downtime affecting prescriptions and patient services
    • Slow response times to IT issues
    • Limited scalability as the organization expanded
    • Lack of dedicated IT expertise

    The Solution: Managed IT Services for Healthcare in Charleston, WV

    Netranom implemented a comprehensive managed IT services solution that covered all aspects of WV Health Right’s technology, including:

    Our team provided responsive, hands-on support, making it simple for staff to report issues and receive quick resolutions without needing to troubleshoot on their own.

    The Impact: Improved Uptime and Scalable Healthcare IT Operations

    Over 11 years, Netranom became a critical part of WV Health Right’s operations and growth:

    • Downtime was significantly reduced, improving system reliability
    • WV Health Right expanded to multiple locations and mobile sites with confidence
    • Staff experienced faster support and fewer disruptions
    • Leadership gained trust in their IT infrastructure

    As leadership shared:

    "One of the top two decisions that I've made as CEO in the past 11 years was choosing Netranom for our IT"

    Key Takeaways: Why Managed IT Services Matter for Healthcare Providers

    • Managed IT services are essential for healthcare environments where uptime directly impacts patient care
    • A strong IT partner supports growth and scalability
    • Responsive support improves efficiency and staff satisfaction

    Why Charleston Healthcare Organizations Choose Netranom

    Healthcare providers like WV Health Right rely on Netranom for dependable, scalable IT support. From managed IT services to full technology management, Netranom helps ensure systems stay operational so providers can focus on delivering quality patient care.
