Annual Meeting Highlights |
|
Thanks to all who attended our 2025 Annual Meeting! We shared key updates, celebrated local wins, and looked ahead to continued collaboration and economic progress in Wayne County.
We enjoyed hearing from guest speaker David Zak, President & CEO of the Ohio Economic Development Association, who highlighted the strong momentum across Ohio, right here in Wayne County.
It was a proud moment to debut our new Live in Wayne video, celebrating the quality of life that makes this community a great place to live, work, and thrive.
Congratulations again to all our award winners!
Thank you for your dedication to Wayne County’s success! |
