Justin Davison, 35 / Market Manager, Member One Federal Credit Union
Justin Davison is serving his second term as the Vinton Area Chamber of Commerce president from 2017-22. He also served as service chair for Rotary Club of the Blue Ridge-New Generations, and was a member of the Vinton Board of Zoning Appeals. In his spare time, he assists Big Lick Entertainment with their events and concerts and conducts videography and research with Cone Reality. He is DEI certified from University of South Florida and earned his Design Thinking Certificate from the University of Virginia. “I believe in Roanoke and the people that make up this great community,” Davison says. “I have been very blessed to be a part of great things. Whether it is being a part of a great event that Member One supports in the community, a chamber event in Vinton or something in Roanoke that Big Lick Entertainment is a part of, there is no greater feeling than seeing a family happy and enjoying themselves. So often the things I’m doing benefit great nonprofits here locally, which makes it even better. My goal is to positively impact all those I come in contact with and try to connect and understand more about them, their business, or organization. I am excited about what the future holds here in the Roanoke Valley.”
