As Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself reflecting with immense gratitude on the incredible support and dedication you've shown to our Chamber and its mission. Your unwavering commitment has been the cornerstone of our collective success and growth over the past year.
Together, we've accomplished in 2024 remarkable milestones, including:
- Launching two pivotal initiatives that address critical community needs in workforce development and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
- Expanding the Women's Business Network, which hosted more events than ever before and welcomed over 100 new participants this year, with even more exciting plans for 2025.
- Witnessing an unprecedented level of volunteer engagement and celebrating the highest number of ribbon cuttings in over five years.
- Reaching over 5,000 downloads for Amplify Worthington, a testament to the impact and reach of our shared efforts.
As I prepare to host my own family this Thanksgiving, I am reminded of the true blessing it is to work alongside our 550 business members, hundreds of dedicated volunteers, and our 17 passionate Board members. Your commitment to the evolution and growth of our Chamber empowers us to continue advocating for and advancing business in Worthington.
From my family to yours, I wish you a safe and memorable Thanksgiving filled with joy, warmth, and cherished moments with loved ones.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Matt Lofy
President/CEO
Worthington Area Chamber
