President’s Message

Celebrating 50 years of serving Dublin’s Business Community!

As warm weather makes its way to Ohio, the Chamber is excited to see you at our events and workshops. We have an amazing lineup that you won’t want to miss!

You’re invited to spend the day on the course at the Dublin Chamber Golf Classic on July 21 at The Club at Tartan Fields. This is an amazing event where Dublin’s business community comes together to raise funds for scholarships for Dublin City Schools students and to support our Chamber. In addition to competing in games on the course, you could win door prizes and bid on amazing silent auction items!

If you are not a golfer, you can participate as a volunteer, or donate a silent auction item or door prize. We hope that you will join us for this amazing event. To register, visit DublinChamber.org/golf25.

I am excited to announce that we are celebrating the Chamber’s 50th Anniversary on August 14 at PINS Mechanical Co. and The Exchange at Bridge Park. You and your employees are invited to this special two-part Member Appreciation event. We will start the afternoon at PINS Mechanical Co. where you can participate in old-school games like pinball, duckpin bowling, and more! Then, we will move to The Exchange at Bridge Park for an exclusive dinner celebrating Dublin’s business community, growth, and the people who have made Dublin what it is today. These are several ways that your company can celebrate, so get ready for the grand show and partner with us today! To learn more, visit DublinChamber.org/50years

Lastly, I hope you can take part in Dublin’s Corporate Charity Cup on June 12 at Marriott Columbus Northwest, and on June 13 Dublin Coffman High School. There are several volunteer opportunities at this event, so register to help at DublinChamber.org/CCCvols

The Community Champion Awards — sponsored by the Dublin Chamber Civic Foundation and Dublin City Schools — are an opportunity to recognize Dublin students and staff who go above and beyond. The program promotes civic engagement among young people in Dublin, encouraging them to pursue opportunities for leadership, service and volunteerism.

The program honored more than 200 students and staff members. In addition, it recognizes:

• One student in each grade level K-11 received $250 via the Ohio BlackRock CollegeAdvantage 529 Plan

• Twelve graduating seniors each received a $1,000 scholarship

• A $1,000 donation was given to a school project of choice for one staff member

• Each honoree also received a limited-edition Community Champion Award medal

All of our 2025 honorees exemplify these values, and we are proud to recognize their efforts and hold them up as role models for the entire community.
