Welcome

The Trotwood Chamber of Commerce welcomes you! In 1979 the Trotwood-Madison Chamber of Commerce was created by a group of business leaders who felt the need to have an organization that would help nurture Trotwood businesses. In 1996 when the City of Trotwood merged with Madison Township, the board of directors determined that the organization's name should be changed to the Trotwood Chamber of Commerce.

The first director was Arthur Wallace, working from an office at 100 E. Main Street in Trotwood. There have been several directors since. The office has been relocated several times and today it is located on the Friendship Village Campus at 5790 Denlinger Road-Suite 4011.

The Chamber works with businesses, government, the non-profit sector, and individuals to build a positive economic environment to ensure and enhance the quality of life in Trotwood and the region. We strive to be a positive voice for the community by sponsoring many events to enhance the business experience and educate business leaders.

Trotwood Chamber of Commerce continues to find new ways to help businesses prepare for success and to help them grow. Our belief is that it is imperative that we support local businesses as they are the backbone of our existence.

Marie Battle, CPS
Executive Director

President's Note

It is hard to believe that 2010 has come and gone so quickly. 2010 proved to be a very busy year for the Chamber. We had several functions throughout the year where members came together to network and learn new ideas. In September we had another successful golf outing at Moss Creek Golf Club and in November we held our annual dinner where we recognized five businesses for their contributions to the community and recognized Summit Towing as our Small Business of the year and Friendship Village and Golling's Arena Dodge as our Large Businesses of the year. Congratulations and thanks for all that you do for our community!

Due to some conflicts with Board members I have agreed to stay on as President for 2011. Already the year is looking to be very busy. We are heavily involved in planning for our Business Expo & Showcase of Technology (BEST) event to be held May 5th at Dayton Hara Complex. This will be a one-day tradeshow and symposium showcasing the region's best green entrepreneurs, companies, technologies and products. This event will spotlight Trotwood and hopefully encourage out-of-town companies to locate in Trotwood. Please visit the Chamber's website for details or contact Marie Battle at the Chamber office at 837-1484.

Speaking of the Chamber Office, did you know we have moved to the Friendship Village Campus? The address is 5790 Denlinger Rd. Suite 4011. An open house will be planned and I ask you to please stop by.

I believe that 2011 will be a good year for Trotwood and the economy in general. I have been involved with the City on various projects and they are working very hard to grow the City during difficult times. I have also worked with many business owners and residents of Trotwood in efforts to make our city a better place to live and work. If you are not involved I would ask you to get involved. The more people we have working together, the quicker we can make things happen. Should you have any comments or concerns please feel free to contact the Chamber at any time. Let's all have a great and productive 2011.

Gary Fischer, 2011 President
Trotwood Chamber of Commerce
