Entrepreneurs Club Daronda Copenhaver
JOHNSON CITY (March 2) — The East Tennessee State University student Entrepreneurs’ Club will welcome Daronda Combs Copenhaver as its speaker on Monday, March 14, at 5 p.m. in room 322 of Sam Wilson Hall.
Copenhaver’s topic will be “Why the Business of the 21st Century?”
An attorney in Southwest Virginia, Copenhaver, along with her husband, has a successful network marketing business.
Copenhaver attended Virginia’s George Mason University with a full, four-year Mason Scholar academic scholarship. During her undergraduate career, she served on the executive board of the Chi Kappa chapter of Chi Omega Fraternity and studied abroad one semester at England’s Oxford University before graduating from George Mason with high distinction in 1999.
In 2002, Copenhaver graduated cum laude with her Juris Doctorate from the Vermont Law School and was admitted to the Virginia Bar in 2003.
Copenhaver returned to Southwest Virginia and began her career with Southwest Virginia Legal Aid Society as a staff attorney representing indigent clients in civil legal matters. She became an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in Wythe County in 2006, prosecuting both misdemeanor and felony criminal cases. She returned to Southwest Virginia Legal Aid Society in 2008 and again serves as a staff attorney.
Copenhaver’s leadership experience and her work in public service led her to see network marketing as a way to combine her skills, experience and desire to help others. As servant leaders, she and her husband are coaching and mentoring others who want to supplement or diversify their income without the restrictions of a traditional business.
