Since 1958, the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce in Worthington, Ohio has been making connections for businesses of the greater Worthington area. Our Chamber works to advance and advocate for the success of our business community 

​I am so excited to introduce to you our new Chamber Executive Director Matt Lofy! Many of you may have met Matt at our Golf Outing earlier this month. His “official” start date was this past Tuesday, August 24th. Matt impressed both the interviewing panel and our Executive Committee from his very first interaction. Matt comes to us from the Westerville Chamber where he most recently served as the Director of Marketing & Community Outreach as well as the Executive Director for Leadership Westerville. Matt also held the position of Events Manager for the Westerville Chamber where he managed the Evening of Elegance. Additionally, he was responsible for managing the committee that plans all aspects of the Westerville Music and Arts Festival. Matt served in the US Coast Guard Reserves and currently hosts the Dadass Podcast. I think all will agree we have an amazing new leader for our organization!
 
I want to thank all of you for your patience as we worked through this transition period over the summer. Kathryn left big shoes to fill, and we wanted to ensure that we selected the right individual to guide us into the future. Matt is already engaged in Market Day planning and has several other programming initiatives that he will be ramping up over the coming months. I know that you will be as energized as I am when you meet him and hear his vision and passion for the Chamber.
 
Finally…..please join me in thanking Crystal Evans for the yeoman’s work she has done over the past several months. Quite frankly, we would not have made it without her. She is the one responsible for the Chamber member of the Day posts on Facebook. She ensured the Golf Outing went off without a hitch. She has kept the lights on, the phones answered and handled a myriad of other items too numerous to list. Crystal is a true asset to our organization, and she has the heartfelt appreciation of the Executive Committee for all her efforts.
 
I know Matt plans to be reaching out to many of you over the next few weeks whether via email, calls, stopping by or member meetups. Stay tuned for more communication as he gets up and running. As Matt so eloquently stated the other day: Let’s get to work!
