Five* reasons to be at the 2020 Annual Meeting with Quint Studer
|
|
We're in the countdown mode for the 2020 Annual Meeting and ticket sales are picking up ahead of
our Wednesday deadline
. Special thanks to our presenting sponsors: Ohio University Chillicothe, Adena Health System, Petland, Fluor BWXT, and the Chillicothe Ross Community Foundation.
As we've talked about Quint Studer and his community development work, the energy around his visit is picking up, but maybe - just maybe - you haven't committed to coming to the dinner yet.
If that's you, here are a few good reasons to be in the crowd at the 2020 Annual Meeting:
- Honoring some of Ross County's finest businesses and businesspersons: Our selection committee voted on the awards last week and we have another group of deserving winners for Entrepreneur of the Year, Legacy, Corporate Citizenship, and Young Professional of the Year. We're not naming finalists this year, so we're hoping you'll be there to see who wins and celebrate with them.
- But, it's not just another awards banquet: Quint Studer's visit is a great opportunity for Ross County and Chillicothe to continue the great wave of success we're enjoying right now. The Chamber intentionally chose Quint because he's great at not only helping community's overcome their obstacles, but also assisting towns like Chillicothe, who have had success and need a next step.
And, check us out on our Facebook and Twitter pages for some book giveaways later this week!

Is your business concerned about the international outbreak of COVID-19, better known as coronavirus? You're not alone,
as the first deaths in the U.S.
have resulted in an uptick of information requests for our Chamber. We're continuing to monitor its impact on business, the markets, and more.
If you're concerned about supply chain shortages, visa issues for travel, or any other impact on your business, call us and we can talk through the concerns. We're not experts, but we can help find the answers.
Our friends at the U.S. Chamber, as well as in public health organizations inside Ross County and beyond, are working to provide accurate information. We've included a few resources below to help you understand and take precautions:
