Things are hopping at the Chamber! A big thanks to Brian Wright and Adam Jones for presenting at our Business Roundtable last week. Very informative presentation on immigration and our local workforce.

This week I want to give a shout out the the graduating Senior members of the Fairfield Youth Coalition from Fairfield High School (pic below). I was honored to attend a breakfast with them on Monday.

Also on Monday, I attended an award presentation for the Ohio Small Business Development Center at Miami University. They received the Award of Excellence from the Small Business Administration. Congratulations!

Deadlines are FAST approaching for the 2024 Golf Outing, so let us know if you are planning on having a team or would like to be a sponsor.

We have also announced our nominees for the Women Mean Business Awards coming up in June

Have a great week!
