Executive Director’s Message

"A cornerstone value of the Ashland Chamber is that we can do more collectively than as individuals in achieving positive results in civic, business and individual improvement. This belief is reflected in personal involvement, dedication and commitment in everything we do from creating projects, events and programs to addressing community issues.  Those who are involved have high aspirations and positive attitudes that success is possible through collective impact and we have the results to show for it.  Come join us – get involved and make a difference.”
