CHAMBER NEWS

The Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce is now accepting applications for its inaugural Youth Advisory Board, a new initiative designed to give Cabell and Wayne County high school students a voice in shaping the future of the Huntington region while developing leadership and professional skills.

Youth Advisory Board members will engage with local business and community leaders, enhance the image of the Huntington area through digital storytelling, develop leadership skills and gain exposure to career pathways throughout the region.

Students and families can learn more about the program, review eligibility requirements, and apply through the Huntington Regional Chamber’s website by visiting www.huntingtonchamber.org/youth-advisory-board/. Applications must be submitted by Friday, August 7, 2026, to be considered.

The Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce celebrated the grand opening of Mountain State Movement and welcomed home founder and board-certified chiropractor Dr. Spencer Wilson.

Mountain State Movement is built on a patient-first approach that prioritizes individualized care, hands-on treatment, and guided rehabilitation. Rather than focusing on quotas or lengthy treatment plans, Dr. Wilson works one-on-one with patients to identify the root cause of their concerns, develop a clear path to recovery, and help them achieve lasting results.

Whether you're looking to restore function, eliminate pain, or prevent a re-injury, Mountain State Movement will help build a specific roadmap for your body, helping you get back to health and wellness. Contact Dr. Wilson for an appointment today!

The Huntington Museum of Art will host an exhibit titled A Moment in The Sun through October 18.

“This exhibit was inspired by the universal human experience of recognizing that our time on Earth is precious and fleeting,” said HMA Curator John Farley. “The artworks in this exhibit, curated mostly from HMA’s permanent collection, are gathered to propose an encouraging idea for the living – the mundane and the numinous coexist more often than we realize. Amid even the deepest gloom, it is possible to find purpose, meaning, and joy.”

This exhibit is presented by Byron Dan Farley and dedicated in loving memory of Anne Elizabeth Layne Farley (1953-2024). This project is supported with financial assistance from the West Virginia Department of Tourism and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval of the West Virginia Commission on the Arts.

For more information about HMA exhibits or membership, visit hmoa.org or call (304) 529-2701. HMA is fully accessible.
