Small Business Person of the Year Award Luncheon - 2016

Join the Chamber on May 5 for our Small Business Person of the Year Award Luncheon, as we honor this year's award recipient, Barbara McClatchie, D.D.S. of Complete Health Dentistry of Columbus, and salute small businesses everywhere for their contributions to our economy and our community.
The Chamber’s Small Business Person of the Year award program is one of the ways our organization demonstrates its support for small businesses and recognizes members who are succeeding, have shown growth, and are involved in the betterment of the Worthington community.



Meet Dr. McClatchie, chosen by a judging panel consisting of all former winners of the award. A graduate of the prestigious Pankey Institute, Dr. McClatchie is known for "precision dentistry, compassionate care" and is highly regarded for her pioneering work in educating patients and physicians on the oral systemic connection linked to heart/stroke and disease prevention. She is a preceptor of the Bale/Doneen Method of preventive care. Learn more about her mission, accomplishments and business growth plans at the May 5 luncheon.
The luncheon, held in the ballroom of The Worthington Inn, will begin at 11:30 a.m. and conclude at 1:30 p.m. The honoree will share with luncheon attendees some of the business philosophies and strategies that have led to success as a small business person.
