2016 Delphos Community Directory
 
The Lima News is currently updating the 2016 Delphos Community Directory and the Delphos Business Directory (by category).  The directory will be mailed to more than 5,000 residential addresses this Spring as well as distributed at the Chamber and other participating locations around town.

The Delphos Area Chamber of Commerce is the COMMUNITY PARTNER for the directory which means we are able to promote our organization on the cover and on the first two pages of the publication.  Also, as a non-profit, The Lima News will make a donation to the Chamber from the proceeds!

Our Lima News representative, Greg Stumbaugh will be forwarding advertising and listing options to all the businesses in Delphos.   If you have questions and/or would like information emailed to you call Greg at 419-233-7886 or email him at [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your participation and support!

Consider participating on a committee!


The Chamber has formed committees to help carry out the growing program of work that we offer.  We currently have a few committees without Chairmen and little to no members.   The programs and services of these committees are currently on hold and are at risk of discontinuation if the positions are not filled. 

If you are interested in getting more involved in your Chamber and community, and increasing your exposure and relationships with fellow business representatives, please consider participating in one of our committees.  Please review, fill out, and return the   Committee Volunteer application, which also includes a brief description of the committees' work.

If you are interested in chairing a committee, please review, fill out, and return the  Chairperson Responsibilities form.  Chairmen are selected at the discretion of the President and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.
