The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce congratulates the 32 individuals who recently completed their public service leadership training as part of the 2022 Institute for Leadership & Advocacy, the longest-running program of its kind in the state.

Toledo City Council is expected to review at its meeting on Tuesday, March 22, a proposal that would repeal requiring a Special Use Permit (SUP) in order to operate a convenience store as well as the prohibition on placing a convenience store within 2,000 feet of an existing location.

At a public hearing at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 23, Toledo City Council will review comprehensive updates to the city sign code which include banning placement of new billboards.

Today, we are highlighting Veronica Casper, CEO of A Step Beyond, a business that provides mental health therapy services to our region. Please enjoy!
Here in the Toledo Region, family businesses are a cornerstone of our community, and Designetics is one such business.

Our celebration of Women's History Month continues with a Q&A with Sydney Spraw, president of Designetics! Read about what Women's History Month means to Sydney, what she loves most about her job and how she got to where she is now. Enjoy!
