2026 Focus on Business Member Lunch presented by KeyBank 1/21/2026 11:30 AM - 1/21/2026 1:30 PM

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 19:01:08 GMT

Join fellow business leaders for a fast-paced, high-impact lunch that keeps you informed and connected. Each month features a keynote speaker sharing fresh perspectives on issues shaping the region’s business environment, as well as economic updates from the Chamber, RGP and Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority.

Insights You Can Use. Connections That Matter.

Stay connected to current conversations, new ideas, and community-focused solutions.

Build a stronger network of peers, partners, and leaders who are facing similar challenges and opportunities.

Gain a broader understanding of regional issues that influence competitiveness, talent, growth, and planning.

At our January luncheon, we will dig into how child care isn’t just a family issue — it’s a workforce issue. Many working parents struggle to afford reliable, high-quality child care, forcing some to leave the workforce or limit their availability. That instability doesn’t just harm employees: it hurts employers’ ability to recruit, retain, and rely on talent — a critical concern for businesses in our region.

Our keynote will explore how new public-private efforts, such as Ohio Child Care Cred Program and Michigan's Tri-Share Child Care Program, are helping address the gap. These initiatives share the cost of child care between employees, employers, and the state — making care more affordable for working families while giving employers a powerful retention tool.

Ultimately — ensuring accessible child care is not only a benefit to families, but a strategic investment in our workforce, our economy, and our future.

Focus on Business: Member Lunch presented by KeyBank is a partnership program of the Chamber, Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, and Regional Growth Partnership of Northwest Ohio. Thanks to KeyBank, Eastman & Smith Ltd., Clark Schaefer Hackett, CliftonLarsonAllen, Penta Career Center, United Way of Greater Toledo and the Toledo Museum of Art for their generous sponsorship support of this series.
