It has been an honor for me to serve as your president. On July 31, our current board year comes to a close, and we will truly miss the outgoing board member Breanne Taylor with Nationwide Children’s Hospital, who has volunteered her time and resources to ensure that the Chamber’s many events and programs run smoothly. The Chamber offers so many ways for you to get involved in the community, but I would like to call your attention to a few upcoming events and programs. Taste of Dublin, one of my favorite Dublin Chamber events, is just around the corner on Sept. 26 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at The Wendy’s Company Thomas Conference Center. The area’s top restaurants and catering firms allow you to sample their delicious specialty items, and it’s a great place to network in the community and enjoy a festive atmosphere. Find out more on page 5. We are currently accepting registrations for the Leadership Dublin Executive Program, a very unique eight-month experience of relationship building, problem solving, civic engagement and personal growth. I encourage you to register for this program today at DublinChamber.org/LeadershipDublin. Oct. 1 is the deadline to take advantage of discount rates for The Leadership Academy, a professional development program created for busy, young professionals with six after-work sessions. This program is a great way to reward your top performers and prepare them to be your next generation of leaders.
