Our team had a great time at the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce event hosted by Mr. Tim Ansted, their Executive Director. The guest speaker, Mr. Dean Monske, President and CEO of Regional Growth Partnership, provided an extensive update on recent Northwest Ohio growth in Economic Development and what to expect in the near future. Local chambers of commerce play a vital role in the communities they serve. They aim to help small businesses and nonprofits thrive and advance the private sector's interests. Chambers of Commerce can do this by advocating for businesses, providing resources, offering educational opportunities, and hosting events to improve the community. -Dr. Marvin Whitfield, CEO #BigBrothersBigSisters #BBBSNWO #mentorship #youthleadership #philanthropy #donate #volunteer #suicideawareness
