Since 1958

Worthington’s longest standing business association

Since 1958, we’ve helped greater Worthington businesses connect. By November 2024, we had welcomed more than 135 businesses and celebrated 40-plus ribbon cuttings in about twenty months.

We are a 501(c)(6) membership nonprofit: funded by dues, run by a staff of two, and governed by 15 trustees, with two non-voting community liaisons.
