In the room where it happens
The chamber keeps a member’s chair where the city makes its plans and puts candidates in front of the room — so when Worthington decides, business is heard.
- Two Vision Worthington committees — 2023
- Comprehensive Plan & Age Friendly Worthington
- Candidate forums & election guides, every cycle they’re needed
“In 2023, the Chamber actively participated in two Vision Worthington committees and the hiring process of our new City Manager.”
Forums, roundtables, one packed auditorium at a time
Candidate forums fill the room before every contested local race. CEO roundtables put executive peers shoulder to shoulder. And the Worthington Business Advocacy Council — launched in 2025 — seats board members, civic leaders and executives of the area’s largest employers.
- Candidate forums with the community, on the record
- CEO roundtables for executive peers
- Business Advocacy Council — launched 2025
