Join me on March 17th for "The Art of Networking" at the Middleburg Heights Community Center for the the Middleburg Heights Chamber of Commerce Monthly Lunch!

Effective networking is still a high priority. It's not about how many business cards you can hand out in 20 minutes and then your off to your next event. Quality matters way more over quantity. Networking is a skill that needs to be developed and mastered.

Live Webinar
Topic: "Member Spotlights That Build Community"

February 24, 2025 | 12Noon EST

Authentic, member-driven content is one of the most powerful ways associations and chapters can build connection and belonging. But creating member spotlights that feel fresh, consistent, and genuinely engaging—without adding more work to your plate—can be a real challenge.

Join membership expert Leona Scott for a practical, idea-packed webinar that shows you how to design and run a member spotlight program that boosts visibility, celebrates your community, and strengthens your culture.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Build a repeatable member spotlight process you can sustain
✅ Choose spotlight formats that actually drive engagement
✅ Turn member spotlights into powerful culture-building assets

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to refresh your current approach, you’ll walk away with actionable ideas you can put to work right away.

👉 Save your seat and join us live. Live attendees will receive 1 CAE credit.

What an awesome group of chamber professionals! Thank you Seneca Regional Chamber & Development!

Today, the Seneca Regional Chamber & Development was proud to host the Chamber Professionals of Ohio - CPO Northwest Ohio Chamber Collaborative meeting at our offices in downtown Tiffin.

This regional gathering brought together chamber professionals from across Northwest Ohio for education, collaboration, and networking. The meeting included updates, a Winter Conference debrief, and a discussion on organizational integration led by Bryce Riggs and Megan James.

These meetings provide an important opportunity for chamber professionals to build a strong regional network, share ideas, and learn from one another. By coming together to discuss successes, challenges, and best practices, chambers across Northwest Ohio can strengthen their organizations and better support the businesses and communities they serve.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a productive discussion!
