Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce hosts Northwest Ohio Business & Community Roundtable with Representatives from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Last week, the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce was pleased to host Beth Hammack, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, in Toledo. A roundtable discussion with community and business leaders was facilitated by Chamber President & CEO Wendy Gramza about the opportunities and challenges facing businesses in the Toledo region. A common theme in the discussion was how uncertainty creates an unpredictable economic environment and presents challenges for planning and decision-making.​

Many chamber members are active participants on the Cleveland Fed’s Business Advisory Council that covers Northwest Ohio. In addition, the Chamber partners with the Cleveland Fed to host the quarterly Northwest Ohio BAC where participants share information with the Fed on economic conditions that are impacting the region, a collaboration that gives the Toledo area a voice on important economic matters.
