River Road Church will welcome award-winning educator Joshua Cole on Saturday, Sept. 27 for a session on inclusivity as part of its Distinguished Speaker Forum. The event runs from 1 to 2:30 p.m. with doors opening at 12:15 p.m. Free parking is available on the church grounds and across River Road. 

Cole, founder of A New Angle, will explore the benefits of inclusivity and the barriers that can prevent it. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in preK-12, higher education and nonprofit sectors in the U.S. and Australia, he will share practical approaches to building relationships and fostering collaboration. 

The session will be followed by a light reception and an opportunity for attendees to speak with Cole. Tickets are required and must be purchased in advance through Eventbrite. 

River Road Church is located at 8000 River Road in Richmond. The Distinguished Speaker Forum is presented by River Road Church and River Road Church Preschool. More information is available at rrcb.org/distinguished-speaker-forum.
