Executive Director’s Message
“The Ashland Chamber brings together business owners and community leaders to improve and enhance our economy and quality of life. Our inherent values of collaboration are reflective in everything we do from creating and managing projects, community events, programs, education and the promotion of Ashland and our region. Those who are involved have high aspirations and positive attitudes believing success is possible through working together and we have the results to show for it. These values have never been more important than in the past two years with the challenges of the COVID crisis as your dedicated Chamber leaders on staff, board and committees have continued to meet to provide needed resources for our businesses working together to overcome these challenges. Come join us – get involved and make a difference.”
