President’s Message
DUBLIN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Celebrating 50 years of serving Dublin Businesses!
Spring is in the air! With the weather warming up, the Chamber is excited to continue celebrating its 50th Anniversary with our members. We have several amazing events and workshops planned to keep the celebration going.
One of my favorite spring events is the Business After Hours and Businessperson of the Year Celebration. This year, the event will be held on March 18th from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Veeva Systems. Come help us celebrate with amazing food, refreshing beverages, and a chance to win door prizes! This event is the perfect way to honor this year’s Businessperson of the Year, Brian Ellis, COO of Sarnova for all his amazing work in the Dublin Community.
Join us at the Work in Dublin Job, Career & Internship Fair on April 24th at Dublin Scioto High School. Last year, we had over 800 high school attendees eager to learn about the different careers and internship opportunities from the businesses in our area.
On May 3rd, we will be holding our Community Service Day. This event brings together volunteers of all ages to help serve those needing assistance within the community. We would love to have you volunteer and spend the day with us. To sign up or learn more, visit the Dublin Chamber Events page!
Looking ahead to May 22nd, we have our first meeting for our Corporate Charity Cup. The Corporate Charity Cup is a two-day event held on June 12th – June 13th, that fosters team building through friendly competition with area businesses. If you have not registered yet for this event, I highly recommend reserving your spot today!
The Chamber staff are not the only ones hard at work right now. I would be remiss if I did not mention our 2025 Leadership Dublin Class and our 2025 Leadership Academy, who are working diligently to strengthen their professional skills and collaborating with industry leaders in our community.
I look forward to seeing you at all our Chamber events coming up this spring. Your support and involvement make a difference, and together, we continue to make Dublin a thriving community.
