Alliance for the Shenandoah Valley is partnering with [Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition](https://svbcoalition.org/) and [JMU’s Institute for Constructive Advocacy and Dialogue](https://www.jmu.edu/icad/index.shtml) to host a breakfast watch-party viewing of [Virginia Conservation Network](https://vcnva.org/)‘s (VCN) speaker lineup in Richmond.
