Parma Rib'N Rock is coming — and it's going to be a blast!

Dig into smoky, saucy ribs, rock out to live music, and enjoy a full day of food, fun, and festivities, all hosted by the Parma Area Chamber of Commerce. Stay tuned — the party details are heating up! 

Apps with an Advisor

We gathered at Parma's Tipsy Flamingo, to meet over delicious appetizers and drinks and to learn more about Emily DeConcini of DeConcini Wealth Management and the services she provides our members and the community. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, featuring pink lighting for Valentine’s Day and, of course, flamingos!

Strike up Connections!

Our first collaborative event with the Young Professionals of Parma, held on February 16, was well-attended. In addition to great networking and conversation, we discovered several talented bowlers among the group! Thank you to everyone who joined us as we continue to forge partnerships in the Parma area.

Elevate Your Business in Our Community!
