“On behalf of the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce...”

The phrase we use when welcoming a new business, presenting an award to an individual, or congratulating a company for an outstanding accomplishment, is more than just a formality. It is our way of letting those present know that we, the chamber staff, are acting on behalf of nearly 800 businesses who care about their community, invest their time and resources into making this community a better place and are celebrating each and every win that comes our way.

From the Greater Springfield Moving Forward Initiative, to job training initiatives, our members are working together to transform our community.

With every new member, this 800-member-strong collaborative becomes stronger, more influential and closer to our goal of making this a vibrant, business-welcoming community, with a balanced demographic with a thriving quality of life.

To our existing members, “thank you” for sharing this vision and for making it happen. To our new members, “welcome,” and get ready for a fun ride. With your support we vow to continue to make your businesses and the growth of our community our number one priority.

Mike McDorman, President & CEO, Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce.

Thank You! 2013 has been a GREAT year for Springfield’s tourism industry! Our local hotel occupancy rate is up more than 11 percent over 2012 and our attractions are reporting some of their best attendance numbers since prior to the economic recession. The Greater Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau is honored to have received a total of 16 awards for marketing excellence this year – 11 MIDDY Awards from the OACVB, and five RUBY Awards from the OTA. We were privileged to host the 2013 Ohio Association of Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Annual Educational Conference, and will be welcoming the Ohio Conference on Tourism to Springfield for the first time in 2014.

Of course none of this would be possible without our local tourism partners. It is our local attractions, events, hotels, meeting venues, performances, historic sites and restaurants that make Springfield a unique place to visit. Thank you to ALL OF YOU for everything you do to make the tourism industry thrive in Springfield!
