It’s a New Year!
As you may already know, the Chamber works on a fiscal year that starts on July 1st each year. So we have a new budget and a new board composition that includes some new faces.
In May, the membership elected Tom DeRoller, Jeff Maroney, and Jamie Vasile to the Board as directors to three-year terms. Dawn Sargent took the reins as our new Board Chair and Diane McClure stepped into the role of Chair-Elect. Congratulations to all of them and many thanks to them for willingness to serve on the Chamber Board.
Completing their three-year terms as directors were Scott Gosert, Robyn Whittaker, and Diane McClure. After 18 years as our Corporate Treasurer, we said goodbye to Bill “Koopy” Koopman. He decided it was time to pass the job along. The Board also saw long-time member Ginny Nacy retire from her latest position as Immediate Past-Chair giving her a little more time for travel and grandson Oscar. On behalf of myself and Barb, the Board, and all of our members, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of them for serving the Board and the Chamber with dedication, wisdom, and enthusiasm. Thank you all!
At the July Board meeting, Board Chair Dawn Sargent appointed Garrett Wagner as the new Corporate Treasurer and re-appointed Cheryl Nelan as our Corporate Secretary. These terms are for two years and coincide with Dawn's term as Chair.
Also at the last Board meeting, the Board addressed two vacancies in director positions. Meghan Bloom stepped down to focus on family and business matters and Garret Wagner was appointed Treasurer.
The Board appointed Karen Szembrot and Ken Dens to fill the remainder of those director’s terms. Congratulations to both of them in their new Board positions.
We had a great noontime networking event on Friday the 13th – it turned out to be a lucky day for those in attendance as Rich Marlin from Edward Jones provided our delicious picnic lunch (with a little help from Hegedorn's catering department). There were some fun things to do in the Friday the 13th theme that got you additional tickets in the drawing for one of the 20 plus door prizes. Thanks again to Rich Marlin and his staff for a great way to end the week!
Don’t forget to check out all the businesses honorees in June for their 25+ years in business – there is a picture and a write-up for each of them on the website!
Breakfast will be July 27th at the Columbus Center. We are looking forward to a little networking fun at breakfast and another great breakfast by our catering team at Brimont Bistro. Please plan on attending!

Beginning the week of July 23, 2018:
Milling and paving roadway work on Gravel Road between Regina Drive and Klem Road, as part of a Monroe County pavement resurfacing project.
During construction, traffic will be maintained with daily lane closures as needed. Flaggers will be used to guide traffic around the work areas. Continuous access to driveways and side streets will be maintained, except when work is occurring directly in front of these access points. In these situations, the delay will only be for a brief time until construction personnel indicate that it is safe to cross the work zone.
The work will progress rapidly and is expected to be completed by mid August. All work will be performed during the day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and ask for your patience during this short construction duration.
