Focus on Business
presented by KeyBank
January 21, 2026 | 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. |
TMA Glass Pavilion
| | | | Join fellow business leaders for a fast-paced, high-impact lunch that keeps you informed and connected. Each month features a keynote speaker sharing fresh perspectives on issues shaping the region’s business environment, as well as economic updates from the Chamber, RGP and Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority. | | |
At our January luncheon, we will dig into how child care isn’t just a family issue — it’s a workforce issue. Many working parents struggle to afford reliable, high-quality child care, forcing some to leave the workforce or limit their availability. That instability doesn’t just harm employees: it hurts employers’ ability to recruit, retain, and rely on talent — a critical concern for businesses in our region.
Our keynote will explore how new public-private efforts, such as Ohio Child Care Cred Program and Michigan's Tri-Share Child Care Program, are helping address the gap. These initiatives share the cost of child care between employees, employers, and the state — making care more affordable for working families while giving employers a powerful retention tool.
Ultimately — ensuring accessible child care is not only a benefit to families, but a strategic investment in our workforce, our economy, and our future.
