| | WorkOhio Launches in Northwest Ohio: Connecting Talent, Opportunity, and Regional Partnership | | | | Last week, Ohio Lt. Governor Jim Tressel joined regional leaders in Toledo for the latest stop of his statewide WorkOhio Kickoff Tour. WorkOhio is a new statewide workforce initiative designed to make it easier for Ohioans to connect with in-demand jobs—and for employers to connect with the talent they need to grow. | | The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to serve as the Northwest Ohio Regional Job Hub for WorkOhio, a role that builds naturally on the Chamber’s long-standing leadership at the intersection of business, education, workforce development, and community partnership. | | Chamber-versary Spotlight: Brian Dicken, CCE, VP of Advocacy & Strategic Initiatives | | | | After nearly 15 years in federal and state government roles, Brian Dicken brought his experience—and deep regional roots—back home to Toledo. Motivated by a desire to put his policy knowledge and relationships to work for the region’s business community, Brian joined the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce in 2013 with a clear purpose: ensure the voice of business is heard where decisions are made. | | New Year, New Opportunity...Come Join Our Team! | | | | If you are looking for a fast-paced environment with the opportunity to work both independently but also collaborate with our team of experts, you are at the right place!

The VP serves as a trusted advisor to executive leadership and the Board while overseeing accounting, budgeting, financial reporting, grants compliance, audits, and IT systems in partnership with a managed service provider (MSP).
