It seems hard to believe we are already halfway through the first month in 2023. But before we put 2022 in our rearview mirror, we want to welcome aboard the following members who joined the Toledo Chamber in December of 2022.

The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Northwest Ohio Manufacturing Alliance (NOMA) is seeking bids from a qualified consultant or team of consultants or community based organization to provide WorkAdvance services. These services will support the achievement of outcomes for a federally supported, 36-month initiative called the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Good Jobs Challenge. This project is funded by the Economic Development Administration (EDA) through the ARPA Good Jobs Challenge grant.  Please contact Vice President, Talent & Workforce Sara Swisher at sara.swisher@toledochamber.com regarding any questions and with intent to apply.

​Help make a person's dream of owning a business a reality by becoming a financial counselor for the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce. Our SBDC counselors foster a strong climate for business growth by providing in-depth, confidential, no-cost business counseling, training, and resource and referral services to small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. ​

​We believe that effective leadership in our businesses and communities is as important as ever for the region to succeed. Registration is now open for the 22nd edition of the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for Leadership & Advocacy. The Institute is designed to build and strengthen our region’s leaders and future advocates. It is the longest-running program of its kind in the state which to date includes an alumni community of nearly 500 leaders.

On October 12, the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce and City of Toledo announced the launch of The Ramp, presented by Kroger, a resource portal for small business owners and entrepreneurs in Toledo. The Ramp is a technology-enabled solution that integrates all the tools, knowledge and support entrepreneurs need to start, launch and grow a business into one platform, powered by Economic Impact Catalyst (EIC).

The Toledo Chamber’s implementation of The Ramp, presented by Kroger, will create a community for diverse business owners to easily connect with needed resources from local technical advisors offering no-cost services. Priority areas include access to capital, contracting, consulting, and community.
