President’s Message
As we dive into all the winter festivities, I’m excited for the opportunity to connect with you and learn more about your businesses. The last few months have been filled with amazing networking events like our Morning Brew Business Breakfast, the Dublin Chamber’s 50th Anniversary celebration, and Taste of Dublin to highlight a few.
As we look ahead to 2026, it is my honor to invite you to join me and the Chamber on our international travel trip to my birthplace of Cairo, Egypt. The trip is planned for May 15 – May 25, 2026. I will be helping lead the tour with an expert Egyptologist guide, as we explore Cairo’s medieval mosques, marvel at the Great pyramids of Giza, Grandiose Karnak, the Luxor temples, and the treasures of Tutankhamen’s tomb, walk through the Valley of the Kings, take a Cruise down the mighty Nile River on a first-class vessel, and much more! So, join me and make this trip a once in a lifetime experience! Our next informational meeting is planned for December 9 at 7 pm, you can register online at DublinChamber.org/travel.
We are also eagerly anticipating our annual Recognition Luncheon on December 12 at the Muirfield Village Golf Club Pavillion. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends and celebrate the accomplishments of our amazing business community. I hope to see you there as we recognize those who are the driving force of growth and innovation in our community.
Don’t forget to support local businesses with our Support Local Passport Program. Shop locally, complete your passport, and you could win one of the many gift cards from participating businesses. Find special offers at DublinChamber.org/WinBig25.
Lastly, we want to thank everyone who made Taste of Dublin a huge success! We could not have created such an amazing event without the support of The Wendy’s Company, participating restaurants, guests, and volunteers. Together, we raised dollars to support local non-profits, including One Dublin, Dublin Food Pantry, Glitter Guild, and many others.
Warm Regards,
Asch Mikhail President Dublin Chamber
