I hope you will join us for all the fun summer events we have planned for you and your team!

If you are feeling lucky, I encourage you to mark your calendar now for the Dublin Chamber’s Member Appreciation Event, Casino Royale on August 11 from 4 to 6 pm at The Ohioan. It’s our way of thanking you for investing in the work that the Chamber does throughout the year on behalf of our community. So, here’s the deal… your entire office is invited! We’ll provide each guest with funny money and complimentary appetizers….so put on your poker face and join us for a night of prizes, food and fun! Register today at DublinChamber.org/Jackpot!

My time serving as Chamber Board President comes to an end soon, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the privilege of serving and leading the Chamber. It has been an honor to work alongside such a dedicated and inspiring community. Starting August 1, Hollis Mignogno with Cardinal Health, will step into the role as president. With her passion for our mission, I’m confident the Chamber is in great hands.

Let’s extend Hollis a warm welcome as we continue working together to strengthen and grow our business community.

With gratitude,

Asch Mikhail
