Institute for Leadership & Advocacy

Mondays, January 27 - April 14, 2025 | 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. | 300 Madison Ave., Rms. 807-809

We believe that effective leadership in the public and private sectors is as important as ever. Leaders must have a strong foundation and the tools necessary to adapt to constant changes and support resilient organizations. The Institute for Leadership & Advocacy is a professional development program designed to help build and strengthen the foundation of our region’s leaders to work with public officials and impact our communities. Discussions are led by highly experienced professionals and regional leaders. 

"The Institute for Leadership & Advocacy provided a unique blend of leadership development and insights into public service. This program would be instrumental for those northwest Ohioans, early in their careers, as it can expand the understanding of complex issues facing our communities and equipping people with skills and knowledge to become a more effective leader.” - Rosanna V. Hoelzle, Chief of Staff, TMACOG – 2024 graduate

Morning Access presented by Buckeye Broadband

February 7, 2025 | 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. | The Toledo Club

Because access matters, this morning event is an opportunity for Chamber members to meet and network with the region’s elected officials from various communities and offices in Lucas, Wood, and Fulton counties. The networking-only, "no-speeches" format provides a great opportunity for Chamber members to ask questions and seek answers from the invited elected officials.
