In many cities and towns, there are people in charge, and there are people who get things done. Joe Slack is an instigator for community change in West Virginia’s Upper Kanawha Valley. He sees the needs in his region, one that’s been hit hard by one economic disappointment after another.
But Slack is a self-described squeaky wheel. He connects people, helps identify realistic opportunities and then works to make things happen.
