While we hope you meet Paula at one of our many upcoming events, you can get to know her a little bit through this Q&A. It's always exciting to welcome a new member to the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce community, and it's doubly exciting to get to celebrate that member's ribbon cutting!

In this New Member Spotlight, learn a little more about YogaSix and what they do.
