In an effort to encourage Wilmington College students to participate in and be a part of the Clinton County community, we are partnering with Wilmington College's Student Government Association (SGA) in asking businesses to offer discount programs to students. We have some that currently do this, and we are so grateful to them but we'd like to open the opportunity up to even more members! We have created an interest form, which can be filled out here. We are hoping to launch this program in three weeks, so to get the jump on connecting with students, fill out this form by Friday, August 9th! Follow the link below or scan the QR code to fill out our form, plus read a note from SGA. Contact [email protected] or 937-301-0267 with any questions.

Thank you for your constant support and generosity!

The Chamber is hosting a Lunch & Learn on Wednesday, June 26th, in partnership with Sean Fliehman, certified John Maxwell trainer. The event is open to the entire business community! Registration is required by Monday, June 24th. Click the registration link below, or contact 937-382-2737 or [email protected] to reserve your spot today!

It isn't experience; it isn't talent. If you want to succeed, you must learn how to connect with people. And while it may seem like some people are just born with it, the fact is anyone can learn how to make every communication an opportunity for a powerful connection.
If you can connect with others -one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience- your sense of community improves, your ability to create team work increases, and your influence skyrockets. People who connect with others have better relationships, experience less conflict, and get more things done than those who cannot connect.
Leaders who have learned the art of connection can communicate their ideas persuasively, establishing buy-in and attracting followers.

Sean Fliehman is on a mission to develop leaders and introduce John Maxwell training to the Dayton area for a limited time. For a limited time, he is offering a 45min training for Dayton area companies. If your company or a company you know of would be interested in free training, send him a private message at 312-978-0973.

Lunch will be provided and begins at 11:30AM, with the educational presentation running from 12PM to 1PM. The event will be held at Faith Family Church, 64 Williams Road, Wilmington, OH 45177. Fees are $10 per person for Chamber members, and $15 per person for non-members.
