BDIS Community Impact Initiatives
In Partnership with Community and Industry Leaders
BDIS Focus Now
High schools across the Richmond region
A forward-looking youth initiative designed for 9th and 10th-grade students, bringing Summit voices directly into classrooms across the Richmond region. Through curated sessions and real conversations with industry leaders, students gain early exposure to innovation, entrepreneurship, and emerging technology, along with insight into the skills, mindset, and opportunities shaping the future of work.
As part of the program, more than 50 speakers share a consistent message on the importance of mental preparation and starting early, whether a student’s path leads to the trades, athletics, or more traditional academic fields. Focus Now meets young people where they are, helping them expand their perspective and see what’s possible.

BDIS + EnergyShare®
Henrico County | In Partnership with Dominion Energy
As part of the Summit, BDIS and EnergyShare® bring community impact to life through a home weatherization project in Henrico County. In partnership with Dominion Energy and EnergyShare®, volunteers will come together to deliver insulation, sealing, and energy-efficiency improvements that enhance comfort, lower energy costs, and create lasting benefits for the homeowner.
More than a project, this effort tells a story. From the homeowner’s experience to the transformation itself, highlights of this initiative will be captured and shared during the Summit, connecting the ideas on stage to real, tangible impact in the community.
Volunteer participation is currently full.
