In October, The County Commissioners' Association of West Virginia launched its annual Regional Roundtable meeting series. The meetings run from October through mid-December and are hosted by eight counties across the state.
They provide an opportunity for commissioners, legislators, and other elected officials to sit down and discuss issues that affect their particular region. Held prior to the legislative session, they are also a good chance for commissioners to review the CCAWV legislative agenda.

In November, Vivian attended the HUB's board retreat. It is her second year of serving on the board, and she is joined by former commissioners Norm Schwertfeger and Reta Griffith as well as current Fayette County Commissioner Matt Wender.
While it is difficult to reduce the work of the HUB down to a single sentence, its mission has four primary goals: To catalyze community development in West Virginia; act as a liaison to strengthen relationships among community development stakeholders; build community development capacity; and develop and distribute resources for community development efforts.
It is worthwhile for commissioners to familiarize themselves with the HUB and its representatives as it is an excellent resource for community planning and development projects.

This isn't the only honor Aerianna has garnered in recent months - she was also chosen to represent Mingo County at this year's weeklong West Virginia Ambassadors Camp.
