It is critical now more than ever that the Toledo region unifies to send a message to leaders in Columbus.

We need your help. Join your fellow Chamber members and economic development leaders for a conversation with legislators from the Toledo region and members of the House and Senate leadership in the state capital.
This is your chance to speak up. Your voice will make a difference in accurately representing the region and ensuring that our challenges and opportunities get the attention they deserve. Now is your time to push for innovative solutions for our region's challenges. Join us in Columbus. Make a difference.
