Meet VICPP’s New Executive Director in Roanoke – June 25 at 6 PM!

Rev. Dr. LaKeisha Cook is hitting the road this summer, and her first stop is Roanoke! Join us on Wednesday, June 25 at 6 PM for the kickoff of Visionary Voices, a statewide series of events where you can meet the new Executive Director of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy (VICPP).

Appointed on April 1, 2025, Rev. Dr. Cook is VICPP’s tenth Executive Director and the first African American to lead the organization. She succeeds executive director Kim Bobo, who served for nearly a decade.

Dr. Cook will share the inside scoop about how Virginia Interfaith works with community members, advocacy, organizations, and legislators, to impact positive social change. You’ll learn about legislation we work on advocating for maternal health, higher education in prison, affordable housing and worker rights. 

This event is part of VICPP’s commitment to connecting with faith communities and people of goodwill across the Commonwealth. Come hear from Rev. Dr. Cook and learn more about VICPP’s mission to advance economic, racial, and social justice in Virginia through education, advocacy, and prayer.

This event will be held at Twisted Tracks Brewery, where guests are welcome to purchase their favorite beverages and snacks directly from the venue’s menu.

VICPP offers “regular”, “reduced”, and “sponsorship” contribution options for registration. Just choose the option that’s appropriate for you. Your contribution will cover staff travel and general operations making it possible for us to share our mission throughout the Commonwealth.

If you find that you cannot afford the reduced fee, please email Tania, our event coordinator and development manager.
