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.
