Morning Access presented by Buckeye Broadband

This Friday - 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.

Area Office on Aging Survey

As part of our ongoing Talent Attraction and Retention efforts, we invite you to participate in the Area Office on Aging's survey focused on understanding the experiences, contributions, and challenges of adult 60+workers within your organization.

As the workforce continues to age, it is crucial to gain insights into how we can better support and leverage the skills and knowledge of our older employees.

This survey aims to:

• Assess the current work environment for adult 60+ workers.
• Identify areas for improvement in practices.
• Highlight the unique strengths and contributions of older employees.
• Gather feedback on how we can enhance job satisfaction and productivity for this demographic.

Your participation is invaluable and will help create a more inclusive and supportive workplace for all employees. The survey is anonymous, and your responses will be kept confidential.

Thank you for your time and input.
