On Sept. 8, the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Capitol Conversation presented by AT&T series welcomed Frank LaRose, Ohio Secretary of State, to discuss issues currently impacting Ohio’s businesses.
The Capitol Conversations presented by AT&T series is the Toledo Chamber’s way of bringing its annual Legislative Day in Columbus to an inclusive and digital format. Its purpose is to bring Toledo Region business leaders together with elected officials and key policy makers to engage in an open conversation about issues that impact Ohio’s economy, as well as to build a relationship between local, state and federal leaders and the Toledo community. The series kicked off with Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted on Sept. 3 before passing the microphone to LaRose.
LaRose started the conversation on the topic of identity theft, and how business leaders can protect their business from it. By subscribing to the Secretary of State’s Business Filing Notification System using your email, you can protect yourself and your business from fraudulent activity. The system automatically tracks any changes or updates to your business filings with the Secretary of State’s office.
With the upcoming general election on Nov. 3, the conversation soon turned toward voting. LaRose reminded attendees that the voter registration deadline is Oct. 5, and that everyone should take the time to either register or to ensure their information is up to date – and to tell a friend to do so as well. To register to vote or to check out your registration status, visit voteohio.gov.
This year, like every year, there are three ways to cast your vote in the 2020 general election.
As well as getting registered to vote, LaRose called on attendees for another reason: poll working. According to LaRose, Ohio is in need of 35,000 poll workers, and is encouraging businesses to give a Day for Democracy by giving employees the day off to work as a poll worker. To register to become one of those 35,000 vital poll workers, visit voteohio.gov/defenddemocracy.
The Capitol Conversations continue on Sept. 15 with Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor of the Supreme Court of Ohio. Registration is still open for the Capitol Conversations presented by AT&T series, so register today at toledochamber.com.
