President’s Message

Experience a summer to remember.

I invite you to spend time connecting with your fellow Dublin Chamber friends this summer at one of our fun upcoming events!

Let’s gather for a Party on the Patio, an after-hours networking event hosted by LaRosa’s Family Pizzeria on July 11 from 4 to 6 p.m. We’ll have complimentary beverages and of course, LaRosa’s famous pizza. Extend an invitation to the entire office to attend this FREE 21 and over event.

Make new connections at the annual Chamber Golf Classic on Monday, July 17 at one of Dublin’s premier golf courses — The Club at Tartan Fields! Register your foursome for a day filled with games and prizes, silent auction items, and food and beverages served throughout the day. This VIP event is nearly full, so register today.

Are you looking for a great summer experience for your 6th and 7th graders? We have the perfect week planned where the community becomes your child’s classroom. The iCare, iServe, iLead youth leadership program kicks off Monday, July 24 and is a week-long adventure that fosters a spirit of civic engagement, helps to develop good decision-making skills, and encourages your child to reach their leadership potential. Enroll your child at www.DublinChamber.org/YouthLeadership.

There’s a Women in Business luncheon on July 19 at The Country Club at Muirfield Village featuring Jenni Vargas, One Medical’s Chief Strategy Officer, who will share an updated approach to women’s wellness and staying healthy. Also, plan to attend the Dublin off the Clock AfterHours on August 22 to take a tour of Riverside Bank of Dublin’s brand-new offices!

Finally, registration is now open for the Leadership Dublin Class of 2024 which will begin in October. Connect with all facets of the Dublin community and join one of the area’s most recognized executive leadership programs. See what the Class of 2023 accomplished on page 5.

I have been honored to serve as your board of directors’ president this past year. As my term comes to an end, I am excited about the new friends I’ve met and experiences I’ve shared with all of you. I have truly enjoyed working on behalf of the Chamber’s membership and the Dublin Business community.

With appreciation for your continued support,
